Success! Right in the heart of the ultra-lubed political machine of America in Washington, D.C. we have struck a rainbow flag firmly in the earth still loose with the footsteps of our October March for Equality. Today, the city council of the District of Colombia passed a bill to legalize gay marriage, soon to be signed by the mayor, Adrian Fenty, and put into action so that all those pudgy, "conservative" politicians on Capitol Hill can stop sneaking off behind the Lincoln Memorial with their twinky pages to engage in their perverted acts and finally get a proper marriage with them. How keen!

So that now makes Vermont, Iowa, Conneticut, and Massachusetts, and then there's New Hampshire following close behind beginning in the new decade. Small steps. But then again, when has it ever been befitting of a queen to take boisterous leaps? See Figure 1a.

Being honest however, this Queer isn't so sure about marriage, although I am sure I better get a 'spensive rang if I'm going to be stuck with your dumbass. I only celebrate getting marriage rights for us because of the principal; the idea that somewhere in the nation we aren't only good for making a great arrangement of callas or jacking up the property value of neighborhoods with our trendy mystique. I just think marriage is played out and lost its meaning along the way. But that's another blog for another day. In the meantime let's celebrate this step forward with two steps backward true to our own precedent and have a circuit party around the reflecting pools! I'll bring the cocaine pinatas and doilies. Really though, this news does please the Queer and is another hole punched in a black sky, leaving a pinhole of twinkling light to remind us there's something out there to give hope and remind others this movement has no intentions of being quelled. Don't lose hope queers. Congrats DC. Now don't fuck it up.

Over and Out,
