gay, straight, black, white, marriage is a civil right

So here is something you may or may not know about me, given that it's generally irrelevant: I was born in Maine. (So was my older sister. My younger brother, on the other hand, was born in Virginia, which is even more irrelevant but funny because when we were little we used to tease him about having been on the losing side of the American Civil War.) Anyway, yes, born in Maine. A good section of my mother's family lives in Maine to this day, and one of my dad's brothers has a weekend place in Maine. It's actually his wife's, I think, but that's sort of totally irrelevant.

And, as I've mentioned (did I actually mention the location here?), I'll be living and working in a theater in Maine for ten weeks starting in June.

The reason I am bringing this up is because, much like my soft spot for Massachusetts, I've always had a soft spot for Maine. It's a beautiful part of the country, and it's the place I was born, and Maine lobster is delicious, and I love it a lot.

Today, I have another reason to love it a lot.

...It's kind of like California's fail spurred the rest of the country into making up for it as fast as possible, isn't it? Anyway, the point is, YAY MAINE!

omg squee, ftw, chica has yayness, politics
