Civil Marriage Equality: The bar is set.

Americablog is truly a blessing. John Aravosis, Joe Sudbay and the rest of the cast and crew really deserve a 'tip of the hat' for their coverage of progressive topics, including GLBT news. Massachusetts lawmakers rejected an attempt by right-wing Christian activists to put the right of gay people to marry to a popular vote today. The link will take you to a play-by-play account of the day's story:

Hope springs eternal! There was a time when I thought I would never see marriage equality in my lifetime, and the best I could hope for was 'civil union' legislation in agreeable states. What a wonderful God we have! Through Jesus' death and resurrection, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered Americans are now permitted to partake in the joy of temporal life on Earth, as well as eternal life with the Lord in Heaven or on the 'New Earth.' Praise Him!!
