This is neither here nor there, but I sang with the Rhode Island Feminist Chorus in the UU church in Portland back in ’89 (!) as a fundraiser for Portland Pride. A very warm reception, even though it was in the middle of winter. Ayup. Good luck to you all, and mind you prepare for the voter recall anschluss to come, ’cause it seems it will. Or so said one of the Queerty commenters from thereabouts. What do I know?

Ugh, and by “send to veto” I meant “send to referendum.”

I dunno about the guv. He is a kinda plain vanilla guy who hasn’t really distinguished himself, imho. Like many in the state Senate, he seems to be waiting to see which way the political winds blow (ie, if the public *seems* to support the bill, then he’ll sign). But what do I know — I live in an insanely gay-friendly neighborhood in the liberal half of the state.

Holy cr@p! Sorry! Lemme fix that. Y'all people up there in New England are just burning so much rubber on the road to equality that I couldn't see straight (!) for all the smoke! (What do you think about the gov? What's with the posturing? Did you see the Queerty piece?)

Dood, you forgot to mention Maine, where the state Senate passed a marriage equality bill yesterday! House support is all but guaranteed, and we’re crossing fingers that the guv will sign it rather then send to veto.
