And LO! The GEEKS shall inherit the earth!

I was right.  CNN says so:

"If the world of entertainment is any indication, the geeks shall inherit the Earth."
- from the CNN commentary, here:  "Geek now chic in pop culture."

As if we didn't already know that.  :D

MAINE!!!

I know, people on my f-list are already posting it, but allow me to add my voice to the chorus to spread the news:

MAINE NOW HAS EQUAL MARRIAGE RIGHTS!!!


So now we have Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont (in September), and Maine.

But don't forget the other smaller victories, too:

New York and Rhode Island recognize same-sex marriages from other states.

Civil Unions are granted in New Hampshire and New Jersey. 

Domestic Partnerships and other registries give some of the same rights in California, Oregon, Washington (state), Colorado, Hawaii, Maryland, and the District of Columbia.

It's not everything, but it's progress.  There's still a lot of work to do, and a lot of obstacles to overcome, but for now... let's kick off our shoes and celebrate a bit.  :)
