More important than my own petty angsting.
DOMA was overthrown by the Supreme Court today! *happy dance* and what's more, they refused to hear Prop 8, so that was overthrown!
Mwahahaahahaha!
And Michigan's own equality marriage laws are being reviewed!
Now then. As well as all this wonderful things, a woman named Wendy Davis filibustered a law that would of closed many clinics, disabling primary care givers based on the fact their clinics also performed abortion.
This helluva woman was unable to sit down, piss, take a sip, lean on the goddamn podium in accordance with Texas' laws about filibustering (which all the men opposing her broke, goddamn repeatedly)
She stayed standing. She fought for women's rights, for 13 hours, AND WHEN THEY TRIED TO CHEAT, the crowd set up such a roar that they could not try to vote around it.
I'm worried they'll come back around with a separate session to try to vote the bill in, but at the moment, I'm proud to see things in this country moving forward.
Because not everything sucks. So fuck yeah!
Tonight I will be donning my gayest attire and dancing for sheer joy, because sometimes? Sometimes you gotta love the little victories, and this isn't so little.
