[...] where we are free to speak, to dress however we like, to marry whatever race (and in five states now, whatever gender) we so choose. Certainly those freedoms are imperfect – and it was that [...]

@f.B Indeed. I saw an interesting statistical model at FiveThirtyEight.com which predicted the likely year that each state would see its electorate vote for allowing gay marriage. NY and NH are right on track for '09, and NJ is ahead of the game since they were listed for '10.

Love that NJ is not being obnoxious.

But to the post… Another brick in the wall. One at a time, they’re falling.

Hell yeah. And with NY/NH/NJ all making big strides, and CA coming back around, there is a lot of reason to hope.

Not too surprising, really; the political landscape in California is going to see a change in general, what with the Governator leaving office at the end of ‘10.

Besides, California is usually the trendsetter on progressive issues, and already its best hope is to be the one running behind yelling “Hey, stop the bandwagon, I wanna get on!”. I think we’ll see more movement on the issue this time, and likely a pretty strong backlash against the Prop 8 supporters.
