    Kudos to the state of my birth for finally taking the leap. They aren't all liberal fanatics up there, but there's enough of them to make the coming battle a fair fight.


    I sometimes think about moving back...this makes it even more interesting...but I won't until they dump Lieberman in the Sound.

    I never thought my home state would be good for anything except Yale, rich people, diners, and toxic waste.


    I was WRONG!

    CT does have some beauteous parts. I've always liked New London.

    @inflammatorywrit: Mystic is where I used to go every year for school field trips. We'd either go to the aquarium or the historic village. I never remember it being FUN, exactly.


    The best part of Connecticut is definitely this tiny little sliver of New Haven around Yale. Otherwise it's all insurance companies, rich people suburbs, and randomly Bridgeport stuck in there for good measure.

    @acrobaticrabbit: Apparently, yes! My grandparents had the coolest house, a trailer really that they moved to Mystic from elsewhere, and they had a ton of land, and woods in the backyard (this was fascinating for a girl from the burbs who never went camping), and they had a pond, and pet ducks (I still would never eat duck even today), and my grandfather had a big, beautiful red Harley he would take me for rides on.


    And now they are dead. Such is life. But Mystic was always beautiful.

    If this little slice of good news hasn't left you forgetting that gays are still society's fucktoy, you can protest the contribution to the legislatively-focussed Mormon non-church tonight:


    Event

    InfoHost: Michaelangelo Signorile, Ann Northrop, Corey Johnson

    Time and Place/Date: Wednesday, November 12, 2008

    Time: 6:30pm - 8:00pm

    Location: New York Manhattan Mormon Temple

    Street: 125 Columbus Ave at 65th Street


    I'd go, but I really despise the Upper West Side.

    New England is the shit right now. I have to figure out how to apply my meager, LA-oriented skill set to a Massachusettsy or Connecticuty job. I don't suppose Harvard or Yale would want to hire me to make sarcastic remarks about Paris Hilton?

    Relax. We Connecticut residents won't overturn it. If someone puts a Proposition 8 on our ballet, we'll defeat it.


    This is Connecticut, people. Not California. We aren't fake liberals up here.

    Also?


    "Among the first couples actually to be married, just before 11 a.m., was Peg Oliveira, a 36-year-old yoga teacher, and Jen Vickery, a 44-year-old lawyer, who wed just outside City Hall with their 3-month-old daughter, Willow, and half a dozen friends watching. They exchanged rings, shared a story about how Ms. Oliveira proposed in the aisles of IKEA, and then had a slow, tender kiss after a friend, Judge F. Herbert Gruendel of the state appellate court, pronounced them married."


    I love that she proposed in IKEA. How gay is that? Heh.

    Yay!!!! Go, Nutmeg State, go!!! @Unfun: Nope, it was never in doubt. California can masquerade as a progressive utopia all it wants, but queerfolk can marry on the east coast, bitches!!!


    Also, can we stop saying gay marriage and use marriage equality instead?
