Gay marriage in Maine

[rm]

The AP is reporting the Maine governor has signed the bill, making it legal. CNN and NYTimes seem to be slow on updating.

There's probably a lot more action to come on this in Maine. We must remain vigilant.

Truly bloody excellent! Vigilance is, unfortunately, still the necessary norm, of course.

Five states and DC. Apparently we are at critical mass.

No. DC just voted to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states and countries. NY and, I believe, NJ, does the same thing. Additionally the DC law can be overturned by congress at any point within 30 days from its passage.

Okay, I do recall it now. Sorry I'm so frazzled today. Phone hold hell again.

See, you are whatever the opposite of a Jinx is! ;)
*is so relieved*
