Reform Jewish Movement Responds to Yesterday's Gay Rights Ballot Questions in Texas and Maine (http://rac.org/Articles/index.cfm?id=1332&pge_prg_id=7037)
While we condemn Texas's decision, we strongly applaud voters in Maine for their election-day support for maintaining laws protecting not only the gay and lesbian community, but also utilizing specific language to protect the transsexual and transvestite communities. We encourage other states, and the federal government, to follow the example set by the voters of Maine.
The Reform Jewish Movement, inspired by Genesis's teaching that all human beings are created b'tselem Elohim (in the Divine image), has long been committed to welcoming gay and lesbian Jews into our congregations, synagogues and communal life and staunchly supports legislative efforts to grant equal opportunity through same sex marriage for the gay and lesbian community.

Appears that when Google adds a news source, their dating goes out the window. This article a few others are dated but I think they should still stay.
