ok, i live in massachusetts. i can marry if i talk my boyfriend into it.
but...
how long will this last?
was listening to npr yesterday after the missouri vote. sounds like there are other constitutional amendments about to be approved in other states. hell, the amendment may still pass here in my state in a couple of years. the majority of voters nationwide don't want this. i was feeling encouraged for a while, but am flagging right now. anyone else think this might be a lost cause?
sorry for being negative. that was just my impression after yesterday's news.

It is a scary situation, but we can’t give up.

Re: post missouri depression
Thu, August 5, 2004 - 4:15 PMIt's discouraging. I'm beginning to feel less at home in my own country. But then I think that the reason these amendments are coming up is because the foes of gay marriage feel defensive. Though they have the advantage right now, it's a smaller advantage than they've ever had. We need to keep up the pressure, keep up the educational work. At least now we're talking about the issue! If we engage people in civil discussion about it then maybe we can reverse the tide.
