According to The Advocate (has the Journal Sentinel dropped the ball on this one?), a straight political science professor is challenging Wisconsin's year-old ban on Same-sex marriage and civil unions.
And for all the right reasons.
Says the aforementioned professor, Bill McConkey: "If you don’t like gay people, who’s next? Short people? As a student of history and an educated person, I know the history and the implications of that mind-set."

hmm. not sure i agree with the professor's reasoning. i mean, it's one thing for a government to take away certain rights from a particular group (e.g., due process for suspected terrorists), but it's something else for a government that has never given certain rights to a particular group to continue to refuse to do so (e.g., gay marriage). in any case, i applaud the professor's efforts.
