gaywrites: U.S. Representative Alan Lowenthal of California hung a rainbow flag outside his office the week of the Supreme Court hearings on Prop 8 and DOMA, and he might just be the first member of Congress to display a gay pride flag. “My intention is to fly this flag until marriage equality is the law of the land,” said Lowenthal, 71, a Democrat, said in a press statement. “Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act are oppressive and regressive policies that label a large group of my constituents as second-class citizens and deny hardworking Americans the freedom to love and marry whomever they choose. It should not take a Supreme Court justice to prove that love is love.” (via Out in the 562)
