It's Good to Be Gay

By Sniffles

We cats have seen worse days for homosexuality in America.

The Vermont state legislature has overridden their Republican governor's veto of a same-sex marriage bill. Which makes the Green Mountain State the fourth state in the union to enshrine marriage equality into law. (Forty-six to go...)

And President Obama has appointed the Human Rights Campaign's Harry Knox to serve on the White House's Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships.

We cats weren't paticularly thrilled that the Obama Administration chose to keep this Bush-created religious operation, but we may change our minds — because the Knox appointment has our online wingnut friends simply apoplectic with fury. "The SLIMEBALL heathen SOB Obama will NEVER force his fagot [sic] loving buddies on me" is typical of the comments we've seen.

Yep, a good day.

UPDATE: And the D.C. Council has voted to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. If cats drank martinis, we'd definitely have one tonight.
