Recent Acceleration in Equality.

How many of us are STOKED about Washington, Maryland, and New Jersey working to become the next states who legalized Gay Marriage?

As we already know, Washington has already took it's steps as Gov. Christine Gregoire signed into law their marriage equality bill! That made Washington the 7th State (plus Washington DC) to accept same sex marriages.

Also, there is New Jersey who also passed their marriage equality bill through the senate however Gov. Chris Christie already stated that his plan in to veto it(which I think he already has) the moment it hits his desk. He claims it's because he feels his NJ citizens should vote on it, not their state government officials. We know why he really is vetoing it. Let us see if he stands behind his people if/when they vote to allow same sex marriage in the state of NJ.

Also in other new Maryland senators have now also voted in favor of marriage equality as well! "Opponents have vowed to bring the measure to referendum in November. They will need to gather at least 55,726 valid signatures of Maryland voters to put it on the ballot and can begin collecting names now that the bill has passed both chambers"

ALSO, in more personal new, I have started my own petition in hopes to get my state to considering removing the law that was added to our state constitution back in 2004 banning gay marriages in North Dakota. My hopes is to get local lawmakers review and hopefully remove or at least bring it back to the polls and let North Dakotans vote on it again. I'm sure that we can get marriage equality back to our state.

For those of you who didn't hear about this one, it will make you shed a tear! A Federal Judge has found DOMA to be unconstitutional in favor of Karen Golinski. Karen is an attorney and works withing the US Court of Appeals. She was fighting to get the same benefits for her wife that are offered to heterosexual couples.
