Thanks for the headsup. This story is my nightmare, and the reason that whenever my wife and I travel, we take abstracts of our Massachusetts marriage license with us.
Yes, there's that. But I think it would provide footing for a lawsuit if they chose to ignore the license, since I would not be a resident of the state that did not recognize the marriage, just unfortunately in that state at that time, etc etc. It could be very messy. But possibly the piece of paper and the threat of GLAAD on speed dial would get me past someone standing between me and my wife.
Alan, congratulations on registering to vote! A lot of people don't know that as long as you're 18 by election day (Nov 3rd), you can register. Good for you for knowing the rules. And of course, for voting APPROVED on Ref. 71. Thanks.
You are AWESOME. Do you have any sense of how people are voting there? I'm working off of blog posts and newspaper articles - what does it look like where you're at?
Excellent post.

Thank you. I just wanted to drop in a comment in case anyone is wondering why the ad doesn't mention R-71 directly. This is because the ERW Education Fund is a 501(c)3 and therefore can't participate in political campaigns.
We're up against a nasty opponent with direct links to deep-pocketed national organizations like Focus on the Family and Family Research Council. We fully expect these groups to drop a large sum of money into the coffers of the anti-domestic partnership campaign right before the Large Donor Ban goes into effect Oct. 12th. So, anything you can do to help is immensely appreciated. Please donate something, anything, at Approve71.org.

You are AWESOME on Pam's House Blend - thank you so much for posting about what's happening in Washington in such thorough detail!
Out of curiosity, if "wait until just before the deadline" is the way the game is played, why didn't Microsoft wait until then to move?
