Congratulations, gay people in Maine: you can has legal marriage now! I just...I...three states. THREE STATES IN A MOTHERFUCKING MONTH. Two through the legislature! Do you remember five years ago, when that would have been political anathema?
New Hampshire's waiting on their governor's signature. New York has started the process. New Jersey's talking about it. The Maine governor who signed used to be against gay marriage, but said today that he has ben forced to reconsider and change his mind. Washington, DC voted yesterday to recognize gay marriages performed in other states.
FUCK YOU CALIFORNIA. But you know, Prop 8, as awful as it was, turned out not to be the end of the world. Who would have thought on Nov 4 that things could change so quickly?
