CHARLESTON- In a surprising move to supersede the United States Supreme Court, WV Legislators put to vote the Equal Rights Law for marriage in West Virginia.  What was assumed to be a quickie in-and-out vote that constituents would happily get behind, turned into a long back and forth debate with Delegates coming and going through the night.  In the end, gays got what they wanted.  The right to marry in West Virginia.

KANSAS- Members of the Westboro Baptist Church are staging another hate-filled protest this week but it will be their last.  And this time many Americans may feel like joining in.  This Friday, the Westboro Baptist Church will be picketing the funeral of the Westboro Baptist Church leader, Fred Phelps.

Charleston- No sooner was the latest MTV 'Reality' show, "Buckwild" announced to the world, it was cancelled.  Swift action from West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is being credited for the reversal.

SOUTH CHARLESTON- The GLAAD boycott against Chick-fil-A due to "anti-gay marriage" comments by owner Dan Cathy, was being felt all the way to South Ridge shopping area in South Charleston.  The effect is such that they may be going out of business.

GLAAD (Gay, Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) will be holding all-day protests at all Chick-fil-A franchise locations this Sunday. The group will be holding signs, handing out informational flyers and hoping to disrupt Chick-fil-A business that day to protest the recent revelation that the "Christian" owner actually holds a traditional "Biblical" view on marriage.
