Leaked footage of the Prop 8 trial sparked a legal tug of war this week, with anti-gay groups renewing efforts to keep their work out of public view. Delaware's on track to be the 8th state to offer marriage-ish protections, and activists gear up in New York.

FINALE of TWIP8, but Matt's New show starting soon,

This Week in Prop 8: Boehner's Blank Check to Anti-Gay Lawyers‏!

Why did John Boehner sign up for a protracted legal fight over anti-gay laws without finding out first what it was going to cost the taxpayers? Hope is on the way for gay couples facing homelessness due to discriminatory Medicaid policies. Civil unions advance in Delaware but marriage is on the rocks in Rhode Island. And will we see Prop 8 back on the ballot in 2012?

What's the connection between this anti-gay assault in New York and this anti-gay politician in California? We'll take a closer look at both this week, and analyze some new ads airing in Oregon. There's been significant movement around the country on civil unions, and Montana Republicans are backing an bill that could send any gay couple to prison for up to ten years. All that plus an interview with Lavi Soloway, the attorney at the center of efforts to protect bi-national couples from forced deportation.

This WEEK in Prop 8: DOMA Doubts Rescue Couples from Deportation‏!

Sex sells when it comes to marriage equality, with a male modeling agency lending its talents to a new fundraising campaign.

Prop 8 Special Report: rapid-response to NOM's DOMA ad‏!

Lies, prejudice, and straight-up-gibberish. It's NOM's new pro-DOMA commercial and we're going to take it down. Let's look at the worst of it.

"he unilaterally decided to no longer defend our country's Defense of Marriage Act"

Nope. Not unilateral. Obama's decision was backed up by a recommendation by the Department of Justice, and by legal precedent that holds discriminatory laws to a higher standard of review.

"DOMA was passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority"

That was true, but a long time ago. And that bipartisan majority is long-gone. In fact, the guy who wrote DOMA, Republican Bob Barr, later apologized for it. And now he's one of the guys trying to get it repealed.

"and signed into law by President Clinton"

You want to bring up Clinton? Okay. He also says DOMA was a mistake and needs to be repealed. And he supports marriage equality. So, yeah! Clinton!

"instead of doing his job to uphold our law, he's dumping it behind our backs."

No. This is gibberish.

It's not his job. He's not dumping it. It's not behind our backs. And he's not "dumping marriage."
