Inviting you all to come live in Massachusetts

...them there mos...

Wally Dear, the proper pronunciation is "them THAR mos" Sad to say... but you got the gist of it right for John McCain too. In this last lil rodeo we had in November, it was him in the flesh on the TV, talking up Prop. 107.

::sigh:: I'm thinking about it, believe me. The wife (hehe! I get to say "wife" now!!!) and I both went to school up there, and miss it lots. We're in DC now, which I don't like nearly as much. I miss knitting all those warm socks to combat the cold New England winter. Maybe some day... depending on where employment takes us.

I can't wait to leave "communist" Massachusetts (where the legislature or politicians doesn't listen to the voters) and move closer to Disney!!!

write discrimination into our laws.
Well gee! Sorry to see you go. Bye-bye!

Mitt Romney for President!!!

Usually Presidential candidates wait until they're running before they flip flop on issues. The last two years Mitt Romney changed EVERY SINGLE position he had that didn't jive with conservative religious right's thoughts on who they would vote for president!

It is no longer Mitt Romney for president, it is now ......

Mitt Romney , a man made into someone other then he his ,so he can run for president!!!!!

Good Evening,

Starting in Feb, all can come to New Jersey for gay marriage. While they are not calling it marriage, for us living here we do get the same rights. Out of state couples welcome here!!!

I have a question totally unrelated to the OP.....why do you want to leave FLA to go to MA? Is it just for the gay marraige or are there other factors? I am just curious. I am not gay, not interested in marrying anyone right now, and hate politics but saw the OP title and thought I would read it. I have lived here all my life and am just dying to move to FLA. Will I be disappointed? Is there something I don't realize that I should? Just curious....TIA.

FL is still very conservative, and only a few cities recognize gay rights or have bans on discrimination based on sexual orientation. They are also one of the few states with bans on gay couples adopting children (the others are Mississippi and Utah. Parts of Texas also have gay adoption bans). Florida has some very progressive areas like the Orlando/Kissimmee area and Broward and Dade counties (Ft. Lauderdale/Miami), but in general is a state so red it makes Ohio look blue.

So, what do you folks think will be the outcome of the 2008 election when an anti-gay marriage amendment will be on the ballot? Will it pass? Will it nullify existing marriages?

 

[donald...really]

Chuck, before this gets on the ballot in 2008, it needs to pass another legislative session with 25% of the vote. Our new governor supports gay marriage 100% (unlike our last miserable governor) and he has vowed that this fight to keep the initiative off the ballot is far from over. Let's hope he is right.

As of now, a slight majority of the residents in Massachusetts approve of gay marriage. Hopefully that number will grow between now and 2008 if this gets on the ballot. I have a feeling that if it does get on the ballot, the people spearheading this initiative will pull out all of the stops to twist and distort the truth, and try to demonize gay couples as much as they possibly can.

No matter what happens, the people who have been married since gay marriages have been legal in this state will stay married (including us, married July 28, 2005, the 10th anniversary of the day we met).
