Just an example of why DOMA needs to be repealed, and legalized marriage for same-sex couples needs to be enacted throughout the entire country.

Chaz Bono. Gosh, as an openly gay native San Franciscan I really couldn't be prouder of the selection of Chaz Bono as our Parade Grand Marshall. Like NPH, Dan Savage, Rachel Maddow and so many other positive openly gay celebrities, Chaz Bono has done us all well by stepping forward (at 40 no less) and putting his real life in order AND being so up front about it - all with style and grace. Kudos to Chaz Bono.

NYT article isn't working for me, but I am on a phone. Others seem to have access to out. I did a Google search for "New York Times" IRS, but that link didn't work, either. Anyone have tips?
Those Dlisted links drive me nuts! They never link to a specific article, I always have to dig through the whole page. Was your link to the story about a man (not a woman) who stole a fly ball from a kid at a baseball game? That's the only link I found that seemed related to stealing from kids. Either away, he's still a jerk.
