Connecticut Governor Jodi Rell signs marriage equality bill: "Rell this afternoon signed Senate Bill 899, which incorporates the
findings of the Kerrigan case into Connecticut statutes. That ruling,
handed down by the state Supreme Court in October, paved the way for
same-sex marriage. Both the House and the Senate spent hours yesterday debating Senate
Bill 899, which passed only after an amendment was added that provides
an exemption to groups who object to same-sex marriage on religious
grounds.

Stonewall Library and Archive celebrates grand opening in Fort Lauderdale: "In decades past, when gay residents wanted to find books about their
community they had to borrow from friends or from a closet where some
were stored at a gay-friendly church. The new location is a sign of how mainstream the gay community has
become in Broward: the gay library shares a building with a county
library and ArtServe and is situated on the edge of a city park where
children play ball and seniors gather for tennis lessons. Jack Rutland, library executive director, lauded the city and county for entering a partnership to make the library possible. 'Imagine me saying that 20 years ago,' Rutland said."

Edmund White on Amazon: "I don't think it was a glitch. It's
shocking that someone in that organization has the power to [get rid
of] gay books. All my own books were [also] affected. I wrote in my
name [on Amazon] last week and A Boy's Own Story wasn't there! Only four of my 22 books were there. It was astonishing. Frankly, if one of the custodians of
Western culture is a corporation like Amazon, perhaps they should be
regulated like the financial world. We need regulation in the cultural
world too so that they don't restrict anything, like Amazon did."
