Prop 8 Declared Unconstitutional..... Again!!!!!

I may have (possibly, maybe) cried when I heard. In fact, I kind of had a nervous breakdown (in a good way?). It actually really drove home the point to me (as if it needed to be driven) about how awful this fight is for the LGBTQ community. I don't even live in California, ultimately this decision doesn't directly effect me, but I was tied up in knots, waiting for three people that I don't know to pass judgment on all same-sex relationships. I felt completely powerless and kind of hopeless. So...yeah. When the news came, I kind of cried and broke down and shook for about 30 minutes before I could really process it.

All that aside, \o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/ *spins and twirls and spins and twirls* This is a good step. A really good step. *deep breath*

Marriage Equality Approaches in Washington!!!!!

A House committee approved a measure to legalize same-sex marriage in Washington state, setting the stage for final passage this week.
The House Judiciary committee advanced the measure on a 7-5 vote Monday after a public hearing. The bill could be up for a vote on the House floor as early as Wednesday. The full Senate passed the measure on a 28-21 vote last Wednesday. Once passed by the House, the bill goes to Gov. Chris Gregoire for her signature. (AP)

A good week for Marriage Equality! Let's hope that it's followed by more good weeks!
