4. I'm sorry, crimmy. I know how this hurts you and your family.

You should move to Washington. It looks like Referendum 71, upholding the state's domestic partnership laws, is going to pass. Maybe someday, we can stop putting civil rights up for a majority vote... :-(

10. Thanks, Aristus.

I keep starting to go to bed and then I feel like I have to check the numbers again. Barring a miracle, we've lost. At least Bangor didn't vote yes. :hug:

8. I hope the yes votes keep coming in faster than the no votes.

If it passes, Washington still falls short of full rights for gays, but it IS a big step in the right direction. If this sticks, then we keep fighting for full rights. I think we will get there one day.
