Looks like Washington is heading in the right direction! Why don’t I live there again?
“Washington is now step closer to becoming the seventh state in the US to legalize gay marriage. The bill was cleared by a Senate panel called the Government Operations, Tribal Relations & Election Committee yesterday, with a 4 to 3 party-line vote. The committee members voted down several amendments offered by Republicans, including one that would have required the measure be approved by voters in November.
The full Senate will likely vote on the bill next week.” … READ MORE HERE

51% of Americans Approve of Gay Marriage
Every day we wake up next to our partners, we make breakfast together, we read the paper, we socialize with friends, we watch TV, we listen to records, we make decisions, we call our moms, we get groceries, we cheer for our favorite sports teams, and we go to bed late. Every day life feels as normal as life can ever really feel.
And then the world we live in reminds us that they don’t think we’re normal. They take polls on whether or not we should have the same rights that they take for granted.
As much as we are politically active, and constantly fighting for equality, these reminders of how many people fundamentally disapprove of us, without even knowing us, is deeply troubling.

A Model Marriage
LAURA WILSON left, TALENT AGENT: It was only a month after we really started going out that I knew I loved Tasha. We were staying at a mutual friend’s house (the singer Pink, who was on tour at the time), and I remember being in her kitchen and saying “I love you.” I was the one who proposed, about eight months later. I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, but in January 2008, she had an accident where she severed a nerve in her hand, and I had to take her to the ER. I wasn’t allowed to go with her into the exam room because I wasn’t considered immediate family, and something just came over me, and I thought, I need to marry her. I don’t ever want to be separated from her again. Watching her walk down the hall with the nurse — and without me — was crazy. So I started planning the proposal, and I surprised her with a trip to Mexico for Valentine’s Day. Tasha said yes immediately. We were both ready. We had already each done the bad relationship thing before we met each other. She was really ready. I think she asked me to marry her the night we first slept together [laughs].
TASHA TILBERG, MODEL/MUSICIAN: We first met at this club, Nirvana, in Los Angeles. I wasn’t available because I was dealing with other things in my life, but she was talking to a friend of mine, and I remember that she had the most beautiful eyes. We didn’t meet again for a year and a half—this time it was in New York. After that, we spent all our time together — I was instantly totally into her. She is really, really funny and a great listener and an amazing mathematician, which is the complete opposite of me. She can do the bills and figures out the tip at dinner — I’m ridiculously bad at that — so she comes in handy. When she flew me down to Mexico for Valentine’s Day in 2008, I had no idea she was going to propose. I was like, “This is incredible. Look at those sea turtles. Wait, you’re proposing? What?” I was just blown away. We got legally hitched in Canada in April 2009, just the two of us and a wedding officiant. Then, a month later, we had a big wedding with friends and family in L.A. I really like the whole idea of being connected, especially in a legal way. It makes me feel safe.
