We reported back in October on Angela McCaskill, the Chief Diversity Officer of Gallaudet University, who was placed on administrative leave after she signed a petition in support of a voter referendum on marriage equality in Maryland. (Many viewed this as a move in opposition of same-sex marriage.)
The issue garnered a lot of attention primarily because it had supporters on both sides of the issue coming together for McCaskill's reinstatement.
Well, three months later, Dr. McCaskill is back at her post.

Wow. Boeing may need to do some damage control now that it appears that they may be actively discriminating against their same-sex married employees.
In the wake of Washington State's passage of Referendum 74, which legalized same-sex marriage in the state, Boeing has been asked by union reps to extend equal pension benefits to same-sex spouses.
According to union rep, Ray Goforth, Boeing has refused citing the federal government's non-recognition of same-sex marriage.

Hell has apparently frozen over (is that Ann Coulter doing a triple toe loop?!) and supporters and opponents of marriage equality in Maryland are planning to come together for a common cause.
They'll be rallying at Gallaudet University on Thursday in support of the reinstatement of Dr. Angela McCaskill, the school's Chief Diversity Officer, who was placed on involuntary paid leave after it was revealed that she'd signed a petition in support of a voter referendum on same-sex marriage rights in Maryland.

New comments from Peter Sartain—the notorious anti-gay bishop of Washington—remind us to pour some of our third morningtime mimosa out on the sidewalk in memory of the lost civilizations of the Netherlands, Canada, Spain, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Portugal, South Africa, Iceland and Argentina, who all crumbled "beyond repair' after extending civil marrige rights to all couples.
