In Other Election News: Gay Marriage Probably Legal in Three More States

Krylo · 11-07-2012, 12:43 AM

It's not presidential but it's still pretty important.

In Maryland, Maine, and Washington there are provisions on the ballot to legalize gay marriage. They are winning in all three states.

Meanwhile, Minnesota, bless its backward little heart, has a provision to add an amendment to the state constitution AGAINST gay marriage. It's a tight race on that so far, but the 'no fuck that shit' block is slightly ahead.

So, other than Minnesota being much closer than I'd like, this is pretty good news.

I really should get back with the ACLU on helping them get rid of Amendment 1 in NC. Several Democrat backed judges were elected in so we might have a chance at it with an appeals judge. Fingers crossed.

In Ohio it appears we need to first vote TO amend our constitution before we can vote on what to change, so I voted for that just for this reason.

Homosexuals deserve the right to be miserable like the rest of us

I still advocate a much more efficient solution is just to ban marriage for anybody.

But the sanctity, Smarty.

The saaaanctity!

THIS IS WHAT I AM SAYING.

Krylo · 11-07-2012, 01:40 AM

I blame you, personally, for this, Shiney.

Edit: No is back to a thin lead.

I don't blame you for that, though. You only get credit if yes goes through.

Well, "non" votes are counted as no, legally. So the % of non-votes, add to the "no" column. Same for Voter ID.

Krylo · 11-07-2012, 02:04 AM

Yeah, I read the ballot, too, Professor Election-Pants.
