OPEN THREAD: Fuck Yeah, Gay Marriage!
I literally just got off a plane from LA and still have In-n-Out double doubles coursing through my veins, but I couldn't wait to get home to blog my fucking face about this: GAY MARRIAGE IS LEGAL IN NY!
A bill was passed at 11:55pm by the Republican controlled NY senate by a vote of 33 to 29 that will legalize same-sex marriage. NY will be the sixth state to do so in the U.S and, thus far, the largest. A similar bill was defeated here in 2009, and several other states including NJ, Rhode Island and Maryland could not get this shit passed in their own damn states.
Do you realize how totally fucking amazing this is, ppl? DO YOU??? Cause it is.
I'm not a very patriotric sort of mofo, but I feel totally and completely proud to be a New Yorker tonight. And I'm really, really, RULLY hoping that all of the other 44 states who have not yet jumped on the marriage equality bandwagon get their heads out of their asses and follow-suit ASAP.
Also, if someone doesn't invite me to their gay wedding this summer, I'm gonna be really pissed.
