Today in at least it wasn’t all as bad as the media coverage of Steubenville, Hillary Clinton supports gay marriage!
Some days you just gotta take what you can get.

Hillary Supports Gay Marriage
Tag: same sex marriage
Since women kind of cleaned house last night in the elections and Akin and Murdock so didn’t win, I’m feeling a wave of relief I had been waiting for.
Jaded as I am, it’s time to take a minute to celebrate these victories and the small steps forward we are taking as a nation. We voted, and we said no thanks to all the men saying ridiculous horribleness about women’s bodies, rape, abortion. And I actually think young generations have some progress to look forward to. We aren’t going to outlaw gay marriage forever and ever off into the sunset. It just won’t happen. We are moving on.
We elected the first openly gay Senator! Oh Tammy Baldwin! In a lot of ways, I was more excited about that than any other aspect of the election. We are over it enough to elect a lesbian. That is a step. Seriously.
Plus, the voters all did right given the choice on gay rights:
Maine legalized gay marriage!
Washington upheld gay marriage!
Maryland upheld gay marriage!
Minnesota voted to not change the constitution to ban gay marriage.
And for a breakdown, here is my new favorite graphic for gay rights state by state. Slowly but surely!
YAY!

Jay-Z supports gay marriage.
Kudos to Jay-Z for supporting gay marriage. This is quite possibly one of the most adorable things I have seen all week.
He says “I think it’s the right thing to do, as a human being.” Which is just seriously the most adorable.
Especially in the hyper masculine, hyper hetero-normative world of hip hop, it’s nice to hear some positive news about same sex marriage.
(Much as ya’ll love saying “no homo,” it really is time to stop)
It all actually gives you a moment of hope that things are changing for the better. Yay!
Oh North Carolina.
You exhaust me.
I am cynical enough that I wasn’t surprised by the news that North Carolina voted for an amendment to their state constitution to ban same sex marriage. As if their law banning it wasn’t enough. Better make it double secret safe.
If you have to defend it that hard, when do you come to the realization that obviously your opinions are getting a little silly and outdated.
30 states in the nation are so afraid that they gays might ruin the sanctity of their god fearing marriages that they won’t allow consenting adults to do what they damn please.
One day we’ll get it right, but until then, le sigh…
