liberty and justice for all

It's a proud day in Vermont, which today became the fourth state -- following Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa -- to allow same-sex couples to marry. In a historic vote, the Legislature overrode the governor's veto of a bill that allows the couples to marry.

it will drive the homophobes nuts that this was done by the legislature and not the courts, thereby depriving them of one of their major talking points, i.e., all those goddam judges "legislating from the bench" and trying to force the queers down our throats, so to speak---

and also today the district of columbia city council voted to recognize same-sex marriages from outside the district----watch how fast some congressional republican introduces a bill to eliminate that----but i think the war is close to being won, even if the battles aren't all over----what they need to do now is overturn that miserable "defense of marriage act," for the signing of which a part of me will always hold clinton in contempt

and i still can't believe iowa
