To my friends in MD, ME, MN and WA - VOTE EQUALITY!!

[dbackjon]

I voted no on one of my ballots and yes on the other.

So Black Hen voted yes, Catholic Hen voted no...

[Cap'n Cat]

Mama Cat and I had your (bare)back yesterday, Jon!

Thanks!!!!!

Was surprised this morning to find out it won, 52-48. Late word on Monday was that it was behind by 1.

Glad I live in a state like Minnesota. Could not imagine living in a fucked up, Conked-out place like Texas, Oklahoma or Mississippi or Utah........or Delaware.

[BearIt]

Voted Yes here in WA. Glad it passed.

Look at the county by county breakdown. Rural areas tend to be more conservative compared to the metro cities.

Minnesota is 2 different states. Metro is the freak-show. Outstate is traditional.

Santa Claus is more active in the Metro areas.

Not enough to influence their vote.

Federally subsidized crop pricing, federally subsidized crop insurance, road, rail, and navigable river infrastructure...just to name a few. Why is it the least populated states are number 1 in regards to spending versus tax revenue?

Everybody has their hand in the cookie jar.

I wouldn't expect an EC city slicker like you to know this stuff.

Just keep growing that corn and raising that cattle. Send it east when ready.

Voted Yes here in WA. Glad it passed.

Jon,
Where does the country stand now on this issue? What's the state count at this point?
What hurdles are left for the states that got the votes?
How many states are close to going to vote?
(Didn't Christie say he was in favor of a referendum in NJ? I think so because I remember saying that I supported it. You quickly shot it down because you didn't have trust in the people. Well, based on what has happened in these other states, this may work out in NJ as well.)

Legal in nine states:
WA, MD, ME, NY, MA, CT, VT, NH, IA plus DC
Civil Unions in IL and NJ
Out of state Gay Marriages recognized in RI

Gay Marriage was approved in NJ, Christie vetoed. Will come back up this year.
Look for It to come up in RI, DE, CO, IL in this election cycle

Court case in CA - likely that Prop 8 will be overturned.

There is some pretty freaky stuff both in the Metro and outstate. I've seen a lot of outstate Democrats spout conk views, but still vote Democrat because of Humphry or Mondale or whoever. There is a big difference IMO, between metro Dem and an outstate Dem.

[89Hen]

I voted no on one of my ballots and yes on the other.

So Black Hen voted yes, Catholic Hen voted no...

Shoot, I'm not sure which of those would hit the no button faster.

Many farmers in the rural Midwest vote Dem. You just pointed out why with your examples.

Thanks Jon.
So how does that work? Do you have to be a legal resident of those states to get married?
What are you going to do? Are you waiting for Arizona to accept?

None of the states have residency requirements to get married.

I haven't been able to afford a trip to any of the states yet - that is why I really want it in CA.
WA would be a good option - my sister lives there.
Another good option would be in MD/DC this summer, if my team qualifies for Gay World Series in DC in August.
Arizona or Illinois are my first choices, because of where I want to get married - CA is third. Cape Cod is next on list.

[dbackjon]

BTW - the Republican Speaker of the House in Colorado killed a gay marriage bill last year. Democrats took control of the Colorado House Tuesday, and the Dems have selected a gay man as the new Speaker

[andy7171]

I voted for you dback. But voted against giving your soon to be wifes in-state tuition. Also Gary Johnson.
