yay maine yay marriage

Today Maine became the 5th state in the country to establish marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples. We are the very first state to pass a marriage bill through the Legislature and have the Governor sign it into law.

I know many of you know this already - but I wanted to record it in my journal for posterity :)

It is awesome, but given the political climate in Maine, I can't let myself celebrate it until after the people's veto has either been eliminated or defeated.

It's May! It's May!
The month of "yes you may,"
The time for ev'ry frivolous whim,
Proper or "im."
It's wild! It's gay!
A blot in ev'ry way.
The birds and bees with all of their vast
Amorous past
Gaze at the human race aghast,
The lusty month of May.
