Gay Marriage In Maine

Marriage, on the whole, is a pretty ugly, archaic institution that is usually not contemplated too deeply by the folks who dream of marriage, weddings, happiness, companionship, family, and all that other bullshit.  I mean where's the fun in remembering you or your beloved's traditional role as property in a marriage agreement?  Slavery's only fun in play behind closed doors between two or more consenting adults if you are into that sort of kink.  On the other hand, modern marriage is an important guarantor of legal rights and has other real benefits both explicit and implicit.  The fact that teh gays in the United States cannot choose to enter into a legally-recognized marriage in every state is a pointless and petty discrimination and vindictive cruelty against one of reactionary America's arch-enemies, so when individual states do the right thing and make gay marriage legal, I am way more psyched than I know I should be.  It is a small but so very flamboyant bit of progress toward a just and free society.  Plus, now that we have the gay marriage, we can all look forward to the wonderful and very profitable new frontier of gay divorce.
