Speaking of companies not being bullied by that one million moms group

Apparently two characters in Archie comics got married, and Toys R Us won't remove the comic from their shelves despite this group demanding they do so.

The Life With Archie #16 comic, in which the character became the first gay character to wed in the longrunning Archie Comics series, sold out of stores, its publisher's co-CEO Jon Goldwater announced in a press release. The wedding brought to idyllic fictional Riverdale a dose of modern day politics: Keller is a military veteran who met his new husband, an African American, while serving in Iraq.

The conservative group One Million Moms protested the issue, demanding that Toys R' Us take the issue off its shelves, but the store held firm, leading to big sales and Goldwater's triumphant press release.

Another good ruling, but again the showdown seems to be looming next year

Quote:
A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that it will not review a three-judge panel's decision to overturn California's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage.

Following this ruling by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Proposition 8 proponents plan to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, putting the battle for same-sex marriage on a national stage. The Supreme Court could decide to hear the case as part of its docket next year.

The ruling comes after a federal appeals court in Boston ruled Thursday that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), that says states don't have to recognize gay marriages in other states and defines marriage as between a man and a woman for federal purposes, violates the Constitution and should be struck down. This case could also go before the Supreme Court next year.
