Today we voted to set right a long standing wrong. We voted YES to marriage equality.

I don't think I have ever felt better about another individual vote I've cast in all my years of voting.

Here in Maryland, the law is already in place. Today's vote is the best the opposition could do to stop the law. If it passes, that's it. Marriage equality, supported by the will of the people, will be the LAW.

...do what is right, because if you don't, you'll end up regretting it, as I think a lot of Californians do. Even those of us who voted the right way in that election are still angry and ashamed of our state. Wish we could be as proud as you will be when your vote and the law supports all equally as it should.

Your comment brings the first tears of the day for me. Being a gay Californian Prop8 still haunts me.

Our state legislature passed marriage equality, but fundies collected enough signatures to make it an approve/reject referendum on the ballot.

The only real difference is I didn't vote for marriage equality today. I voted to approve it yesterday.

marriage amendment. A recently disgraced Rethug spokesman just confessed that the TEApubs put it on the ballot to bring out the conservatives to vote. He stated that he was actually voting "No."
