Victory to Shaenon's Mom!

(I hope she broke out the good stuff last night.)

It could be better.... :-(

Yeah. It could have been.

We'll win this one in the end. I'm ashamed for my state and my country that it's turning out to be such a long, hard fight, but history and justice are on our side. I solemnly believe this.

I know and I believe it too, but it still makes me ashamed of my state. I mean, we have hundreds of amendments to our state constitution, and this would be the first one to take away rights.

On the bright side, Connecticut very quietly voted down their latest attempt to eliminate marriage equality. It didn't make as many headlines, since what they voted down was a constitutional convention to consider the issue, but still.

My attempts to cheer myself up about this have mostly been unsuccessful, but it's something. Slow but steady, I guess.... wish I'd had a vote in CA.

How can I explain this to my kid? We went to a gay wedding a couple of weeks ago. How am I supposed to tell him that the government has taken away our friend's right to be married?

It's insane.

PS It was great to see Mel and Sergio. Can't wait for the next page!
