  • Posted Wee! Baltimore Trapeze School Coming This Way to DCist
    Baltimore's well-loved trapeze school is moving to D.C. after failing to find a permanent home in Charm City. (Hat tip to Ryan Sharrow.)

Well, the court has decided to uphold the proposition, which bans gay marriage in the state. So tonight's gathering, starting at 8:30, will definitely be a protest. One positive note, though obviously bittersweet: the justices ruled that about 18,000 same-sex marriages sealed...
