Indiana lawmakers have decided that they will not put the question of whether or not to institute a state constitutional ban on the legal recognition of same-sex couples to voters via referendum this year.

Could it be because social conservatives are afraid that they'll lose?

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.

Updated Wednesday 1:20 p.m. PST

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.

Republican State Senator Steve Litzow of Washington is giving us real talk in support of marriage equality in Washington state.

Litzow was one of the first Republicans to come out in favor of marriage equality and joined Washington Equality for Marriage to fight the voter referendum that will seek to ban same-sex marriage in November.

The Family Research Council, led by Tony Perkins, has released their latest SNL sketch, except it's not an SNL sketch and isn't meant to be intentionally humorous (or terrifying).

The group is rallying voters to gather signatures to force a voter referendum on SB 48 in California, which basically allows schools to acknowledge that gay people exist.

We know, we know. That's a terrible idea.

We guess we'll see whether the recent upswing in same-sex marriage support will result in a victory amongst Washington voters. (Still, we've gotta say this whole voting on civil rights thing is getting old.)

Preserve Marriage Washington submitted more than 200,000 signatures, effectively blocking Washington's law allowing same-sex marriage from taking effect on Thursday.
