“protecting the moat while we allow the castle to burn down”

That’s what San Francisco Deputy City Attorney Therese Stewart said today during the Prop 8 oral arguments at the California Supreme Court.  I love that quote.  Every time I read it I think of Lucy’s last birthday party with this castle that our friend Fred built.  A lot of Prop 8, for me, is about protecting my family, and particularly protecting my kid (which is what marriage is about).
