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.

All the same rights as marriage. It simply isn't called marriage.

It's what they should have done in Maine. Then all the dense
Christians wouldn't have been motivated to "protect marriage."

It's the rights and responsibilities that matter, except if you're a
Republican lawmaker.

Jackass? Yup, your wife is certainly married to one.

Something like 76% of the population will vote for Domestic Partnerships.
Just do not call it "marriage". Been a fact for a long time.
