Here in NYC, they’re gearing up for one huge bash. The West Village is going to be painted in rainbow colors and Edith Windsor will be treated as conquering hero at the Gay Pride Events going on starting today and running through the weekend.

It’s going to be real, fabulous, and spectacular. As it should be. They’ve got a whole lot to celebrate (though the work isn’t done yet).

Ms. Windsor will never have to buy a drink in the West Village. Ever. As it should be.

And gay activists are setting their sights on Gov. Chris Christie and setting up strategy for getting NJ to approve SSM. There’s apparently a court case that may challenge the existing civil unions as unconstitutional to force SSM that way, and there are legislative options being considered as well - from referendum (which is something Christie has said he’d allow in the past) to direct legislation (which Christie has said he’d veto because he’s got to pay fealty to the socons if he ever dreams of having a shot for a GOP nomination for 2016 or later).
