HOORAY!

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley signed into law his hard fought measure to legalize same-sex marriage at 5 p.m. in the State House.

A marriage bill came within a whisker of passage in 2011, but was shelved in the House of Delegates at the last minute when leaders determined they were a few votes shy. Securing those "few votes" this year took up much of the first 45 days of Maryland's General Assembly's legislative session.

CONGRATULATIONS MARYLAND

It's the 2012 Michigan primary today

Neither of the GOP front runners are who I'd want running the country, and not just for their views on gay rights.  This is a lesser of two evils situation if I ever saw one.

With that said, I urge everyone NOT to vote for Santorum.  His views on Gay rights, as well as FEMALE and MINORITY rights are horrifying, small-minded, and hypocritical.

2012 Elections

With the Republicans scrambling to find a candidate, it's important to know about Rick Santorum. (Try googling him.  I'll wait).  I get my information from http://blog.spreadingsantorum.com/.  It has many fine editorials of it's own by one of my favorites, Dan Savage, and links such articles as:

RICK SANTORUM’S ANTI-ABORTION POLITICS WOULD HAVE KILLED HIS OWN WIFE

and

RICK SANTORUM’S TOP 10 MOST OUTRAGEOUS CAMPAIGN STATEMENTS, 

including ANNUL ALL SAME-SEX MARRIAGES,  GAY SOLDIERS ‘CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN CLOSE QUARTERS’, and one that sadly affects me and some close friends personally, WE DON’T NEED FOOD STAMPS BECAUSE OBESITY RATES ARE SO HIGH.
