Default Gay Marriage Law Upheld in Maine, Washington

It's doubtful that just a year ago, either of these states would have
voted to uphold gay rights laws. Looks like one of the Republican's
pet issues may be off the table as America makes a steady move towards
sanity.

Rush has already mentioned bestiality this week (in reference to the
REPUBLICAN candidate in upstate NY) so I expect that'll be the
Republican's next major hot button issue.

Conservatives and their issues were trounced in my state.


Gay marriage was just outlawed in Maine, jackass.


He's a double jackass. Washington approved "domestic partnerships"
not "gay marriage".

Approve or reject a bill that expands “the rights, responsibilities,
and obligations accorded state-registered same-sex and senior domestic
partners to be equivalent to those of married spouses, except that a
domestic partnership is not a marriage.”

And just barely at that - 51% Yes, 49% No.

He needs to take a remedial course in reading comprehension.
