Gay Rights ver. 2009

Yesterday held important votes for gay rights--a true bellwether of social progress in our nation.  While it was a mixed night, a larger view says we are on the path toward greater social justice.  So, the results (with a positive spin):

  1.  nearly half of Maine voters approved gay MARRIAGE
  2.  WA voters appear to have approved strong domestic partnership benefits
  3.  over 60% of voter in Kalamazoo, MI supported an anti-discrimination ordinance

Imagine reading these headlines 10 years ago?  Remember that it took 70 years for women to get the right to vote--from Seneca Falls (1848) to 19th Amendment (1920).  So, albeit not as fully or as quickly as GLBT Americans deserve, progress is happening.

Hillary 1984 Ad

Regardless of which Democrat one supports, I think we should collectively reject the kind of nasty, destructure advertising shown in the YouTube ad.  I hope Obama is not behind this.  It's trash, of the sort that the GOP has used against us.  We cannot allow any Democrat to attack another this way.  

I wonder whether it's actually a right-wing smear on both Hillary and Obama?
