Gay marriage hits close to home
Holy shit, you guys. I just found out that David Valesky who represents me in the NY State senate is undecided toward the gay marriage bill but probably not. OH NO YOU DIDN'T!!! No fucking way is a freaking Democrat who is supposed to represent me going to vote no on gay marriage. He does say yes on civil unions so it's not entirely impossible.
Now I am going to do everything possible for him to change his mind to yes. Because seriously, this is NEW YORK, we need our gay marriage. And I just couldn't live with myself if I didn't do everything possible. I am just really scared this bill is going to fail, it's really iffy as it needs seven more votes or so and a bunch of Democrats are voting no (thanks religion, arghhh) so we may need some Republicans.
On the other hand I am SUPER happy we have Massachusetts, Conneticut, Iowa, Vermont and almost New Hampshire and Maine (and should have California...at the latest, hopefully 2010). So amazing.

no subject
Our one gay state senator here in Washington says he has 15 votes in our Senate (our House is a done deal), but he needs 25 -- and that he thinks plenty of the guys (it is mostly men) have *never* heard about this issue from a constituent.
I just wish I knew more people on our boondocks here that I could beg to write letters.
Anyway -- go you!
