Hooray for New Jersey
New Jersey, despite paying out more in federal dollars than they get back, far more than any other state, has decided to show they believe in basic human rights.

If only every state would follow this example, or even a majority of the blue states.

Here in Virginia they've added a ballot-initiative designed to prevent two people of the same sex from forming contracts that in any way create similar rights as a marriage. It's so retarded my head hurts, who tries to pass such unconstitutional laws? Then my brain kicks in and I realize it's just a way to drag George "Felix-Macaca" Allen's supporters to the polls.

I'm so embarrassed for Virginia right now. It could almost be a blue state, we elect Democrat governors who have balanced the books and started investing more in infrastructure, but we're held back by gay-bashing right wingers, we've got one of the few remaining obviously racist senators, we've got all the crazy evangelical leaders like Robertson and Falwell in Alexandria and Virginia beach, it's just a mess. Maybe one day soon, Virginia will decide to join the modern world rather than just dip a toe in.
