The Ascension of Weather Reporting

Crossposted from Left Toon Lane, Bilerico Project & My Left Wing click to enlarge When Iowa takes the lead in civil rights in the 21st Century, when New England (the spot in America where that Revolution thing started) becomes the hotbed of Gay marriage, when states approve of Gay marriage and it doesn't make the news, America may have turned the corner. The hard core of right wingnuts seem to be all that is left of what was called the so-called Moral Majority. We are far away from equality from all, but we are closer to that goal than we are to the days of Stonewall. It has been five years since Massachusetts approved Gay marriage and Hell still has not frozen over. Go figure.

When the Midwest Goes Gay...

Crossposted from Left Toon Lane, Bilerico Project & My Left Wing click to enlarge The whole change thing is becoming unsettling. First Iowa voted for a Black guy with the middle name Hussein to become President of these United States and now gay marriage is the law of the land in Iowa. And Vermont... I am stunned, slack-jawed and left scratching my head. Oh, and I am speechless. Not a lot to say other than Iowa and Vermont have just sided on the side of equal rights and approved gay marriage. If Iowa can legalize gay marriage it should be no surprise that Vermont followed suit. Other states will follow and we will be left counting the states who DO NOT honor gay marriages as the oddity instead of the other way around.
