The news reports that Texas (yes... Texas) may have same-sex marriage by easter. Im not holding my breath, but it will be interesting to see what happens.

OMG I thought I would NEVER Live long enough to EVER see this happen in this southern redneck state in my lifetime. I cannot wait for the change to happen and I'm gonna have a sign up on my wall showing a Texas symbol with an Equal sign right smack dab in the middle of it. (not that I'm getting married mind you, but anything could happen while I'm still alive )

Default Federal marriage

The Respect for marriage act was re-introduced yesterday in both the Senate and the House, by the Democrats and one lone Republican. The Bill was first introduced in 2009, BEFORE the SCOTUS decided on section 3.

Most of DOMA is still in place, and needs to be repealed through the Legislature. With the heavily Republican House and Senate currently seated, there will be slow, if any, progress on the bill.

While I am glad that Senator Feinstein (democrat california) continues to fight for us, I personally feel it will take the SCOTUS to bring marriage to all states, and to put a stop to all of the discrimination allowed in jobs, housing and other areas of importance in our lives.

WOW,
Iowa has had same sex marriage since 2009, I'm not sure what else might have held them back...unless this is an old file picture.

In any case, they were able to marry in their lifetimes, and that is indeed a blessing.

Default Yay!





After 42 years together, Lily Tomlin and her longtime girlfriend Jane Wagner finally tied the knot on New Year's Eve 2013.

Chicago Tribune columnist Liz Smith first broke the news, writing that "My longtime friends, Lily Tomlin and her love, the writer Jane Wagner, got married on the eve of 2014 … My wish is that their happiness will be as great as their combined talents."

Tomlin, 74, has hinted that nuptials might be on the horizon after the historic Supreme Court ruling in June 2013 striking down the Defense of Marriage Act.

"You didn't think that would happen," Tomlin told E! News in September. "It's pretty remarkable. You don't really need to get married, but marriage is awfully nice."

My Texas is up for a vote today on marriage equality. I've got my fingers crossed....
