After the California ruling there's been a lot of buzz about marriage equality and queer rights. But we all know for every step forward there seems to be two steps back. June is Pride month so before we get to complacent let's Get Busy & Get Equal .

It's great to celebrate the progress made but we shouldn't rest on our laurels. We need to remember that many states in the US have passed constitutional amendments barring marriage equality thereby legalizing bigotry, that binational couples are only given equal rights in 16 nations, and bullying of queers in schools is still the rule not the exception in far to many communities, and in too many places around the world queers have no rights at all.
