3. I'll be glad to report back,

4. Thank you!

My fiance lives in SD, and I am planning to move there. He and I are very much on the same page politically, as are his friends and family.

I'm very concerned about this legislation in terms of the larger picture and what it could mean for all of us nationwide. Even if it doesn't really go anywhere, I think the messages are significant.

But on a personal level (I'm a Northeastern librul!), I'm uncomfortable about living in a place where fundie wingers predominate, which is the impression I'm getting, particularly as of late.

Please say it ain't so.

I am hoping that the majority of people in SD DO NOT want this, and they make their feelings known.
