THANK YOU, DEITY.
O'Malley held the governor's seat in MD. I don't think he's a great candidate, but I will literally pick a clapping monkey toy for governor over Bob Ehrlich. Ehrlich doesn't want to give GLBT people "a whole bunch of rights" by supporting marriage equality. God forbid gay people have the same rights YOU do, amirite?
Bob Ehrlich, fuck you sir, and go crawl back to that dank dark hole from whence you came. Please do not come back.
And if you need me to call the whambulance for your passive-aggressive butthurt over my pretty emphatic stance here, I will. Gladly. Because FUCK. THAT. SHIT. I will lose not one wink of sleep tonight over calling out a homophobe with bad transportation, financial, and environmental policies. Homophobia gets my teeth bared, as it should. If you don't intrinsically believe that all your constituents should have equal rights, you don't deserve to be governor and responsible for taking part in key decisions re: civil rights.
Now, in fairness, O'Malley doesn't personally believe in gay marriage. He's Roman Catholic. But he has the good sense to know that his religious beliefs have no bearing on equal rights, and has stated that he would sign a marriage equality bill into law if given the opportunity. I'm cool with that. Is it ideal? Fuck no. But it's at least fair, and a good way to acknowledge personal beliefs vs. the ideals of equality our nation was founded upon.
Also, Barbara Mikulski, you are fiiiiiiierce. All four feet of ya.
Nationally: PRAISE THE LORD, Angle and O'Donnell went down! Now, let's vote out Rand Paul ASAP before head-kickings become a new trend in Kentucky.
