historic night in this election for gay rights of gay marriage rates last
night's uh... inside gay marriage victories in maine and maryland in
minnesota and likely in washington as well this is the first time in history
and that
dates and voters have decided to
pasar to approve gay marriage rates on the ballot now we have seen states uh...
legalize gay marriage in the form of court rulings and legislative rulings
but we've never seen others do this in the voting booth so this isn't is a huge
deal it's a great
on on a progress for gay rights algae bt rights
and gay marriage
uh... so basically what we're looking at is minnesota has voted down amendment
want and what that would have done
what it what about a constitution to be a mentor sorry an amendment to the
constitution i have been out for like twenty times at the bottom end of the
constitution
they would have define marriage is a link between a man or woman so it's good
that that did not pass
uh... in washington now these numbers are officially and although it is
looking like it's gonna pass but they're still telling the voters could last for
the next few days but it's probably gonna pass out they'll probably
legalized same-sex marriage
and cement and that may mean and maryland which is really great news
but i think that's that's good news is that because we
have obama elected as president
and he's going to then appoint liberal supreme court justices
face a very well-read and it's being overturned intensive which is very good
news now obviously
justices do retired strategically
and sell we could see
you know it's it's kind of up in the area by their school u_n_ kennedy will
retire now that obama has won his term but
if repair ginsburg retires she will be replaced with another another liberal
another democrat has some very much and to the scene returned
as i said before the program
i'm guaranteeing that he has a bacon heavy diet and i'm hoping to help us out
i think that's what
sampling for bacon sentence billion
uh... deafness is great news um... and so there's a couple of of ways of this
particularly good for gay rights movement this country uh... as you'd
said they'd never won before the popular vote and that was something opponents of
gay marriage would love the sailor go yeah you get a couple justices our
legislators will pour but the people are in favor of it well they can no longer
make that argument although the first amendment set amended say only two
states out
uh... at the same time since the early nineties a total thirty two states have
had amendments
were uh... ballot initiatives to ban same sex marriage and those of previous
previously passed as he said about minnesota shot down one
if that had passed at the same time that these two
understated legalized it
that would have provided some ammunition to opponents of gay rights to say well
maybe in some parts a country we were slow moments and other parts not so much
because they lost in minnesota i'm so yet if you were in favor of increased
gay-rights this was a very good night for you 'em was talking to say about pop
legalization if you are deep pocket this was amazing night for unit in recent
history especially dinah washington
satellite favorable to the celebs
that here in washington and you're getting in on the smoke pot you are
having the friggin best day ever exacting that deletions you probably
haven't really been basically
but something about stopped the huge body at witness talked usaid we've got a
obama now it's gonna be protected the supreme court i would imagine
um... there are things that we backtrack on this country progress is not always
in one direction i don't see this being one of those things i don't think that
in twenty years people gonna like
of a sudden so you know what no yesterday's down i don't i don't think
so i think that we're moving in the right direction uh... this was a good
step on that path
