ria_oaksGUYS GUYS GUYS! How is it that Maine legalized same-sex marriage last week and I didn't know about it until today? Yay Maine! :) I like to think it hasn't popped up on my f-list or wherever because it's getting so commonplace that it's no longer news, but with only 5/50 states down so far, I think we have a ways to go until that happens. Still. Yay for another state! I'd heard that Maine was the probably the next up, but didn't realize it was so close to happening. And it looks like New Hampshire will probably be next, and quite soon...? Things are definitely moving down there; makes me happy... it's nice to have all this good news after Prop 8.
My vaguely planned post-Prop 8-inspired "gay marriage is legalized in NY and Keith and Anderson get married" fic is starting to get closer and closer to reality... when I wrote the little bit that i have so far (like, half a page if that) I just went with the idea that it was sometime in the nearish future and Prop 8 had been repealed and NY was about to possibly legalize same-sex marriage, but I made no mention of other states... now I have 3 new ones to include! :) Assuming I ever write it, ehehe. It was a pretty sappy and silly idea anyway, more a reaction to Prop 8 than anything. Was going to be pretty OOC, too, probably. -_-
EDIT: ...people fail at life. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iq4Y_woQg4NdYDDDLdXJCDpaRnVgD981L1SG1 So looks like the new law may be held up for awhile because of stupid people trying to challenge it. *sigh* Let's hope they don't succeed... in the meantime, it looks like it'll be awhile before anyone will be getting married under it. :( Still, at least they got it passed into law.
