So long as Massachusetts remains the sole same-sex marriage outpost of this country, we can play provincial. But grumblings and advances elsewhere just keep coming. Bless 'em.
In a comment on the latest in Wyoming, Harold drew attention to great news in Colorado. Long the home of right wingers and libertarians, they have fostered one of the nation's nastiest anti-gay/anti-SSM politicians, U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave. She not only runs her campaigns on keeping homosexuals down, she has been the leading advocate of a U.S. constitutional amendment forbidding SSM.
She seems, at least this year, to have run out of bile. She and her local buddy U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard announced that they won't reintroduce this amendment this term.
According to the report in the Pueblo Chieftain, it's not so much that they got some humanity and compassion. Rather it's "another sign that Democrats are now in the majority."
