There are three states? I thought it was just Maryland and Connecticut. Unless you’re thinking of California, which ended up getting repealed a few months ago.

Oh, and to the question: I certainly hope that now that there’s a democratic majority in congress, they’ll start trying to pass some *** rights laws, and with Obama in office we know it won’t be an automatic veto. I’m crossing my fingers!!

Oh you will be even more appalled to hear that its now only 2! California backed out, sniffle sniffle!
Oh I dearly hope so! Actually I would like to see this be a Federal issue and not a state issue!
Here’s hoping!

I love Canada. Actually thinking of moving there. It’s easier than risking never being married.

As for Obama, I have a lot of hope and faith in him and I can’t wait to see what he can do.

Obama has already stated in a survey he does not believe in forcing a church to permit same *** marriages, but he will do his best to create a nation wide partnership protection (basically same *** marriage, without the church. Separation of church and state is important.).

Obama has been noted as being remarkably GLBT friendly, and will likely make great steps forward in America overall.

I think the Obama is the epitome of change. So hopefully lots of great things come during his reign.

read this blog from jeffree star

what he wrote is precisely how i feel.
and i quote all of it..

DEAR AMERICA, YOU MAKE ME SICK!!

I am not excited about today. I do not think things will change. No, I don’t think things would have been better with McCain but I don’t think Obama is the hero everyone else seems to think he is. I am quite aware he hasn’t been in power long enough to make changes. But based on his time as a state and federal senator (when he did things such as introduce shady legislature to benefit his campaign contributors Astellas Pharma and Nufarm), his overly broad and most likely unattainable campaign promises, and his actions as president-elect (from his cabinet nominations to his supporting of his securities industries friends in the bailout to the anti-gay minister who is speaking today), I think I have an accurate picture of Obama to say that he is more of the same. He is the same old lies in a new package.

And that is not a nod to his race, either. It is a remark about his entire image. Are you all aware that the Obama Campaign won the Ad Age’s Marketer of the Year award – above such companies as Nike and Apple? The brush of Hope and Change that he has been painted with is a carefully constructed marketing tool. On the inside, Obama has the same mix of ego, corruption, and noble ideals that make up any politician. He has taken lobbyist money (even during his presidential campaign when he claimed he wasn’t), he has enacted legislature that benefited those companies at the expense of the American people, and he has stuck to party line instead of fighting for real progress. For example, there are several people that have said how Obama is for *** Marriage – an issue near and dear to my heart. He is for no such thing. He is for civil unions. I honestly find it shocking to find our first black president so avidly a proponent of the 21st century version of ‘separate but equal.’

He is our first black president and that is a HUGE step forward for equality. But that doesn’t invalidate all of the other struggles for equality out there – be they racial, sexual, religious, or gender-based. It doesn’t even erase the struggle for equality for African Americans, who are still fighting for equality at home, in the schools, in the workplace, and on Capitol Hill. These fights went on yesterday under George W Bush and they will go on tomorrow under Obama. We CANNOT abandon these critical struggles for civil liberties for any reason – be it in the face of an unprecedented economic crisis or under the reigns of a new national leader. If this leader truly brings change, it should not inspire complacency that he will “take care of it” but it should inspire us all to further heights of action.

That is why I am so upset about today. It seems that everyone is so carried away with these slogans of ‘Hope’ and ‘Change’ that no one will hold our new president to his campaign promises. All politicians should be under constant scrutiny by the public. I think Obama will be insulated against criticism by first the rosy glow of being Anybody-But-George-Bush and then by the “if you don’t like him, you’re a racist” card. The “if you don’t like him, you’re unpatriotic” card protected George W Bush for a long time and I am worried we will see that again.

I don’t necessarily think Obama is going to be a terrible president. But neither do I think he is going to be a great president – not without the American People taking an active role in his presidency. This goes for every politician. We should be watching all of them or we’ll have more Foley’s and Libby’s and Blagobadhairday’s. So that is also why I am in part so upset with Obama. He inspired voters who had never participated to get active. He sparked a huge online movement. And all of this mobility could and SHOULD be used to fight for the very things Obama has promised us – equality, security, and peace – yet it seems like everyone is content to let him run the country without oversight or direction and let all of this energy that would make real change dissipate.

And then there are all the declarations about how this election season marked “an end to social injustice and the dawn of equality.” (Yes, some stupid ***** said that on CNN today.) Yes, we now have our first black president and, as I said above, that is a huge step forward. But this election also marked one of the worst blows against *** rights this country has seen. I cannot honestly feel like I am living in a nation that is a beacon of equality because my rights have been denied. Worse, those rights have been stripped from me because until November, I HAD the right to get married! And for all of you people who say “move” – **** YOU! California and America is my HOME! Why should I have to move to another state or another country just to be able to marry the person I love? When minorities were fighting laws about *********** marriage, should they have mo

Obama straight out said that he is opposed to *** marriage, but all for civil partnerships that equate marriage.

Based on what he said in his inauguration and my interpretation, he will help make *** marriage accepted or he’s not fulfilling his word. Obama is such an amazing person. He said that as a country we are better united than separated, and he also said something about the pursuit of happiness.

If gays don’t get their rights then I’d be speechless and pissed off. Like I said, Obama’s gonna help.

Nope, he has already said he does not support *** marriage and respects what the Bible says about marriage. But, at least he is more open to homosexuality then many of the recent presidents.

I don’t think so he will do that. I have so faith in him.
