Oh Happy Day!

At last! 

Seems I moved away from the District just as the fun stuff was starting to happen. I'm thrilled to know that the District of Columbia has entered the ranks of that handful of brave states extending marriage rights to all of its citizens. The fact that D.C. is ahead of California and other seemingly obvious venues is mind-boggling. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop and some neo-con, wing nut in Congress to stick some rider on a bill that would strip this right from the District. I suppose I can breathe a sigh of relief?

Congratulations to my brothers and sisters in the GLBTIQ community. This is an historic day indeed!

Happy Day indeed. For all of the couples who married today, I wish that the best of their yesterdays be the worst of their tomorrows.

I had no idea. I'm going there in June. Now, another reason that I am glad!

yesss.... it does a heart good. Perhaps you could do something for me. Tom Colapietro, one of few remaining DINOs, is running once more. (Ct. Senate) I want him OUT of there. If there's a more liberal Democrat or Green Party, please urge them to run. Thanks.
