People who vote to deny civil rights to others should be doomed to have theirs taken away.

It's fucking ridiculous to ask "permission" state by state.

Gay people are citizens like every other one of us, their rights are OUR rights.

What makes this unique is that "marriage" is regulated by the states - what a pain in the ass.

I wish I was a brilliant Constitutional pit bull lawyer to figure out how to get this DONE.

7. Absolutely!! I hear that gay marriage legislation is coming up in NY and NJ. That's the good news...
The bad news? A Repuke is now governor of NJ, and with things the way they are looking in NY's gubernatorial race, the Dems risk another Repuke governor there... :puke: :puke:

I am so very proud of Maine's governor, though. He had a change of heart and really went to bat for gay rights in that state. Though he's not running again, I commend his hard work on this issue.

There's still so much work to be done in this area. I cannot believe that Iowa is more progressive than Maine on this. :(

14. They already are doomed to have their rights taken from them
Ever wondered what kind of precedent this will set for 2019, when the Supreme Court stipulated duration of the racial and sexual quota will end?
