Baldacci signs same-sex marriage into law.
That would be the Governor of Maine.
I don't even know what to say, you guys. I never dreamed this would happen here so soon. I thought maybe, you know, within the next decade or so. I mean, socially progressive Maine is not. It took repeated efforts over years of votes and referendums just to get equal rights made into law. I kinda figured we'd be one of the last, and but here we are, right up there in the first ten. In the first five.
I just . . . I'll be over here, being totally overwhelmed.
