CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT LEGALIZES SAME-SEX MARRIAGE! 


Well, it looks like California at least, is a bit closer to civilized Europe than the rest of America. And oh boy, the conservative talk radio hosts must be frothing at their mouths.  FROTHING I say!

Isn't Mass. part of Europe already?

Anyway, you made a good point, but I have to wonder.

BUT,that was eight years ago. Eight years of increasing positive gay presence in the media, eight years of society getting more used to gays as people, not stereotyped deviants. Not to downplay the amount of homophobia in current society, but there has been some progress.

I think that the states that it will get traction in will be ones that Obama wouldn't win anyway. I also think it will be much easier to counter, and the Republicans are disorganized enough that they won't be able to make much traction with it. This may be a distraction, or even demoralize the Republicans.

Also, this is happening in May; there's nearly six months to counter any strategy the Reps may come up with.

Heh. When I went to school in MA we used to call it the People's Republic of Massachusetts. (And then we kept electing Republican governors. Go figure.)

God I hope you're right about the election...I'm really terrified the Democratic party is tearing itself apart and that this will just give the Republicans more fuel
