When all the rest of the news—global, national, local—is so very bad, this fabulous, rainbow-colored, boa-wearing tid bit sashayed from within my speakers as I drove along Torrey Pines Road, handed me a cosmo and blew me kisses that tingled my spine. Of course, petitions to put gay marriage before voters are already underway. And whether this historical ruling is a check-mate for John McCain in the chess match that is the presidential election remains to be seen (Obama and Clinton need to quick grow some balls on the issue if they don’t want to lose this race). But for now, I cheer right along with my gay brothers and sisters and know this is a huge victory. We here in California? We wanna be like Massachusetts!
I cried in the car today

Gosh, I was hoping you’d blog about this!
I agree with the comment about Clinton and Obama growing a set on this issue. That’s why I voted for Kucinich.
We also need to be like MA in one other aspect: we too want a killer baseball team.

Hip Hip HORAAY!!!!! I too had tears in my eyes today. I am so proud of my state today. Fear not those ballot measures, the Govunator won’t amend the Constitution so I think this one will actually stick. I certainly hope this doesn’t become a presidential issue since we know what happened to Kerry. Even though he was an idiotic candidate this platform issue sank him. Let’s hope our boy Obama can formulate a poignant response. Wooooohoooo
