Governor Signs LD 1020, An Act to End Discrimination in Civil Marriage and Affirm Religious Freedom

“In the past, I opposed gay marriage while supporting the idea of civil unions,” Governor Baldacci said. “I have come to believe that this is a question of fairness and of equal protection under the law, and that a civil union is not equal to civil

HOW CAN SUCH A PRETTY FACE BE SO UGLY? D8

[vejiicakes]

I KNOW all these New England/east coast states are getting on the ball, and I'm like.. god, I hope the west coast is starting to get an inferiority complex, because I'M SURE AS FUCK FEELING IT.

If Utah beats Texas, I will be similarly ashamed >:(

[vejiicakes]

And with so many blaming a prominent Utah-based party for capitalizing on the anti-same sex marriage campaign in California, that really WOULD be a feat O_O

(Is there some talk of improving on gay rights/same sex unions/whatever in your state? I'll admit I kind of didn't expect much from the southern states even once the East Coast Awesome pattern emerged, but considering that my state HAD gay marriage and then took it away, I should probably get off my high horse...)

I SAW THAT AT ONTD_P AND WE ARE PARTYING~! 8D

*scratches head* She doesn't even look that attractive to me. The photos just make her look like a bleach blonde with a bad tan and leathery skin.

That said, I likewise hope that the west coast catches up. I'm still a bit O_O at the epic fail from last year.

[vejiicakes]

I just assumed it's one of those things where she looks better in action (like Paul Bettany, or how Tom Felton used to be) but eh, I suppose what you just described could speak to what I understand as something quintessentially urban Californian, so she's a good representative in that sense...? (Not that I can speak from experience there--I don't think we have so much of the tanning salon/bleach culture here in the Bay Area :P)

[admiral_chowder]

Hmm, I suppose it's a -bit- more flattering if you look at it that way. XD Though at the same time, I look at her and go 'Whatever happened to natural beauty?' It's so hard to believe that -that- is natural. DX

And her closed-minded attitude makes me go DX even more. She could be passable, but that sort of world view could make even the prettiest face hideous.

[vejiicakes]

HAHAHA not really, just making light of how she could be an appropriate representative for California XD (I mean, she sure as hell doesn't represent me or anyone I know or any facet of California that I'm personally familiar with, so I figure it's gotta be something else).

SERIOUSLY THOUGH D: And according to my friend, she's signed on (or tried to) to help out the NOM campaign. And the pageant people are like, "Um, you can't do that--shooting commercials while you're a contestant is a breach of contract," and she's like, "OMG UR JUSS PERSECUTING ME FOR MY CHRISTIAN BELIEFS." Gag. With. Spoon.

And New Hampshire's going to send a bill to their governor next week.

NEW ENGLAND GAY MARRIAGE PARTY WHAT WHAT

[vejiicakes]

I'VE NEVER WANTED TO LIVE ON THE EAST COAST BEFORE, BUT Y'ALL ARE REALLY MAKING A SERIES OF DAMN GOOD ARGUMENTS.
