elrhiarhodan32 times, the basic civil right of marriage has been defeated at the polls. The haters and fear mongerers kept trying, but they've lost their hold:
In Maine, marriage-equality proponents have the upper hand, 55-45.
In Maryland, the contest is very close: 51 percent to 49 percent, with same-sex marriage supporters with a slight edge.
In Minnesota, the question is worded slightly differently as a matter of banning same-sex marriage. Opponents of the ban are leading, 57-42.
Washington State hasn't reported in yet.
3 and 32, and lets hope it's 4 and 32 when the sun rises

Date: 2012-11-07 06:21 am (UTC)Today, it looks like same-sex marriage is passing in not just one state, but three! I never dreamed I'd see the world get better so fast. There's a long way to go, but more hope than there's ever been.
Or, shorter: SQUEE! \o/

Date: 2012-11-07 07:09 am (UTC)But in other good news: The Republicans' war on women blew up on them. The likes of Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock lost. Women won more Senate seats than they've ever had. I'd say that's a pretty clear message.

Date: 2012-11-07 09:27 am (UTC)I was just watching the coverage. Marriage Eqaulity passed in Maine and Washington State too. And Minnesota shot down the ammendent to ban same-sex marriage. I saw it mentioned above Tammy Baldwin is the first openly gay person to be elected to, it was either the Senate or The House I think. I missed that part.
I just read an article that Spain shot down an appeal to overturn a law they passed in 2005 making same-sex marriage legal.
Good news all around.
