A perfect little stream

Lost in the disappointment that happened in Maine is what happened in Washington state. In May of this year, our state legislature passed a bill that gave gay couples ALL of the rights of heterosexual married couples. Some out of state fuckwits sought to overturn the new state law and gathered enough signatures to put a measure on the ballot, repealing the law.

Washington voters upheld our legislators’ “everything but calling it marriage” bill. So there is at least one state where, when a goddamn civil rights measure was put to a popular vote, the voters did the right thing.

My faith in humanity has partially been restored. Thank you Washington!
