I'm quite happy that the same sex marriage bill has been passed in DC. It's great whenever it passes in yet another state, but this time, it's on my home turf :) Except I am in MD, not DC. whatever. Just hoping the threat by the DC Catholic Archdiocese to cut social programs (food charities, homeless programs, etc.) is an empty threat. To sever ( Read more... )

I had a momentous day in my 26 years of life today; a day of life, pride, love, and truth.

Bush just gave his farewell address about an hour ago. I watched most of it. He still fucking smirks all the time.
