 | | This case may be the first of three landmark court decisions making June 2003 the best month in history for gay rights. |  | | The truth is that non-partisan elections offer the best opportunity for minorities to either elect one of their own into office or, at the very least, to elect a non-minority candidate whose vision and ideology are in synch with what they hold dear. |  | | So it is quite possible that June 2003 will produce a gay trifecta: marriage in Canada, marriage in Massachusetts, and the repudiation of Bowers vs. Hardwick. |
