Very Gay Day

This has been an amazing day for gay folkes in this country. Don't get me wrong we still have lots of work to do.

The Massachusetts Legislature rejected a proposed change to the state constitution Wednesday aimed at banning gay marriage, a striking reversal that preserves the state's status as the only place in the nation where same-sex couples can wed.

"Gay marriage has begun, and life has not changed for the citizens of the commonwealth, with the exception of those who can now marry," said state Sen. Brian Lees, a Republican who had been a co-sponsor of the amendment. "This amendment which was an appropriate measure or compromise a year ago, is no longer, I feel, a compromise today."

I do believe that gay marriage is inevitable. The only argument is a religious argument and we do not have a religious government. In fact any religious argument can be knocked down down an educated theologian.

Also today the Local Laws Enforcement Act

The House of Representatives passed legislation today to expand federal hate crimes laws to include gays, lesbians and transgendered folks

Today in London the government launched it's campaign to publize it's new "gay marriage law" which will give same-sex couples many of the same rights as married couples.
