Gay Election Recap!
This was a great election for gay causes!!! Why???
Homophobe #1 Rick Santorum (probably another Ted Haggard ultra-deep-closet case hiding behind a wife and half a dozen kids), was voted out of the Senate by a big big big margin, 60-40. He lost to a very low-key opponent whose biggest asset was being the son of a very popular governor in PA. Goodbye Rick Santorum! I hope you enjoy the word created to honor your bigotry! Or just search for "santorum" on Google and click on the first link :-0 ***WARNING*** Graphic depiction of bigorty ***WARNING***
The first statewide gay marriage ban FAILED to pass in Arizona! Another great victory for the "gay agenda" ;-) Pima county (Tuscon metro area) saved the day as their 30K vote margin was the one defeating this measure. The Phoenix metro area (Maricopa county) barely defeated the measure, countering the votes from the rural areas.
The South Dakota measure came very close to a defeat, the 2nd best outcome for a gay marriage ban (Arizona being the #1). Quite possibly riding the coat-tails of the Abortion ban, which got 8% more votes, along with the "legalize marijuana" initiative which trailed gay marriage by about 8%. Very interesting... Apparently the abortion issue brought out liberal voters and women which tend to be more gay-friendly than insecure straight male pigs :-)
The domestic partnership measure came close but failed to pass in Colorado, a state famous by the super-bigotted liar deceiver and hypocrite Ted Haggard. Gay marriage was banned but by less than 60%. Similar percentages unfortunately in Wisconsin as well where gay marriage was banned in the high 50s. The margins were higher in the remaining (red) states.
This is great news as it looks like there may be a shift in the gay-marriage-ban wave, as now there is no guarantee that it will pass in traditionally-blue liberal states. And the defeat of the anti-abortion c.a. in South Dakota was also a major setback for the bigots who were planning to use this as a long-term plan to overthrow Roe v Wade.
As shown in the Senate races in Montana and Idaho, and in two dozen races for the House and many state/local races, every vote counts! So vote early, and vote often!
