The Governors of Maine and New Hampshire have both signed laws legalizing gay marriage. Maine's Governor signed it into law early Wednesday afternoon. New Hampshire's Governor signed it that same evening at 7:24 pm. That brings the total number of states to six. The other four are Delaware, Vermont, Massachusetts, and recently, Iowa. Iowa is the only Mid-Western State while the other five are in the Northeast.
While this is a great victory for the gay community, the opposition is not happy. And upon word of Iowa, Maine, and New Hampshire legalizing gay marriage, they are mounting campaigns to repeal the laws. But the issue seems to no long gain any steam, and some polls have recently shown that the issue on for or against is split.
It was kind of funny, by the way, that late last night, the gay marriage episode of South Park aired on my local CBS station.
Here's a quick synopsis:
Mr. Garrison had a sex change operation and is now Ms. Garrsion. He gives the kids an assignment on parenting. He then sings about love and goes in search of his ex Mr. Slave. When he goes to Mr. Slaves' house, he discovers that Big Gay Al has moved in. And if that wasn't enough, Mr. Slave tell Garrison the he and Al are getting married after the Governor of Colorado signs the bill to allow gays to marry. Furious at the news of the impending nuptials, Ms. Garrison vows to stop the law. What does he do? You'll have to see, but it does end with Ms. Garrison as a very sore loser.
If you want to see it for yourself, go to South Park Studios and watch it online of buy the DVD's.
Enjoy and Stay Thonged
