And on the eighth day, The Cow said, "LET THERE BE A FIFTY-STATE LEGALIZED GAY MARRIAGE INITIATIVE!"

"Somewhere over the rainbow / Bluebirds fly. / Birds fly over the rainbow. / Why then, oh why can't I?"

FOUR DOWN...FORTY-SIX TO GO!!

So it seems like the momentum is shifting EVER so slightly toward the idea of legalizing gay marriage, and a BIG slow-clap-leading-to-a-rousing-applause goes out to Iowa and Vermont this week for siding with decency and justice in what IS the biggest civil rights issue in this country today...and Vermont did it through their legislature and not through the courts!  With similar bills floating around New Hampshire, New Jersey, Maine and New York, we might just start turning the "dream" of the United States into a reality.  

SO BIG UP TO CONNECTICUT, MASSACHUSETTS, VERMONT AND IOWA!!

PS:  By the way, for those of you out there getting your panties in a bunch with some righteous indignation I'd like to offer you this: I'll stop pushing for a fifty-state legalized gay marriage initiative when you get your "religions" the fuck out of my local, state and federal governments. Either that, or we start taxing. Sounds good to me...
