One thing that I got a good laugh out of on Wednesday, in a moment of childishness, is that all of these people in 11 states who voted against gay marriages, screwed themselves out of rights as well.

Basically, under the laws that passed against civil unions, if you're not married in a church, you're screwed.

Won't take long before people start realizing that, and then we'll have even more people on the side of gay civil unions next time around, in a "we'll scratch your back if you scratch ours" show of solidarity.
MA is the best place to live if you're a liberal. Gay marriage, high incomes, some of the best educations, universal health care is coming soon, and Mutt Romney just got CREAMED on Tuesday night. The GOP has the fewest seats ever since 1867! There wasn't even one city or town in the whole state that gave Bush more than 56% of the vote. Repubs only hold 21 of 160 seats in the House and only 6 of 40 in the state Senate. Plus, we picked up two more seats in the House and one more in the Senate on Tuesday night.

What I find offensive about people who don't want gay marriage is their holier-than-thou attitudes and how, because God wouldn't like gay marriage, it must be outlawed. Why should their religious views affect everyone else? It boggles the mind.
