In more general interest, we've all heard the news, right?

I'm moderately proud of my state, though upset that it didn't pass with more votes. Still, the passing's the thing, right? In another generation or two we'll wonder what all the fuss was about!

Naturally, the comments over at yahoo are a pain. "This isn't the time, there are more important things to worry about!" Well, it's never the right time to right a wrong, is it? If the "more important" squad had their way we'd still be living in the Dark Ages!

You're not in Texas by any chance are you? (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-5700676-503544.html)

(Also, as I've seen it said elsewhere by copperbadge - now there's a public record of 29 state senators to not vote for next time around.)

I'm not sure if it's the bigotry or the incompetence that's the greater concern here.

Nope, but I just PMed you as to my location (this entry is public, and I don't want the general Internet to know where I'm from).

Needless to say, the article on the Texas marriage law doesn't surprise me one bit. =P Talk about cutting off one's nose to spite the whole face (or however that saying goes), or shooting themselves in the foot. =P
