Congrats to Homos! D.C. now recognizes same-sex marriage. Couples that legally wed in Iowa, Vermont, Mass, New Hamp, and formally California, will have their marriage recognized in the District of Columbia. The measured was passed by a vote of 12 to 1. Who wants to guess who the "1" was?
D.C.'s finest politician Former Mayor Marion Barry (D-Ward 8). I've sought long and hard to find a transcript of his exact words at the council meeting this afternoon but the news is to fresh and FIOA is not quick but i'll paraphrase what i heard on NPR "This isn't a personal decision its one of morals"-"I'm not against the vote or the decision or those who side with the issue, i just can't bring my self to support it"

OH Marion! do you remember what you said on April 28th during your anti marriage equality rally? No? I got you!
"There are a lot of issues that we agree on, there are some that we don't agree on, but....we have to say no to same sex marriage in D.C." then he urged the crowd to "pack the city council chambers" on May 5th (today when the board voted) "You can't just talk about it, brother, you have to work for it. You've got to go across the street and walk the halls of City Council, confront all 12 of [the Council members,] eye to eye, morality against immorality."
YO Marion do you know what is immoral? CRACK-COCAINE!
You know what else is F-ing Immoral? The fact that you spent the first part of your political "career" defending the rights and equal treatment of Black Americans! and now you stand there with a group of mostly African American's and your coward friends and hypocrite Pastors and say that consensual adult marriage is immoral? What is paying for prostitution and Crack with tax payer's money? a hobby? You are a flipping idiot dude and so are those who've voted for you and supported you all these years. I believe in second chances but in your case i believe you've been too fortunate.
I'm disgusted.
Yay for Gays!
peace

WASHINGTON -- After an emotional debate, the D.C. Council has given final approval to legislation that recognizes same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions.

Tuesday's vote is considered the first step toward eventually allowing gay marriages to be performed in Washington.

The issue now goes before Congress, which has final say over the city's laws.

The vote was 12-to-1, with former Mayor Marion Barry casting the lone opposing vote. He called it an "agonizing and difficult decision" that he made after prayer and consulting with the religious community.

Had to do it (Bye Bye L-Word)

I don't know who killed Jenny- i mean I know (DUHH did you see it?) but i don't know know.





I did not start watching the L Word until 2007 four years after the show began airing. My heterosexual female roommate was obsessed and netflicked (new word!) an entire season, and being that there was one tv in the house i watched. And i was hooked.
I've only seen three seasons and this last one...kinda lame-still have an awesome respect for the show, the cinematography, the characters and the messages behind the far from realistic situations that occur between them.

Thanks for Awesome entertainment.

'The L Word' series finale: Who killed Jenny Schecter? And does it even matter?

Mar 9, 2009, 07:05 AM | by Nicholas Fonseca

The first-ever American TV series about lesbians signed off for good in properly maddening fashion last night. And SPOILER ALERT RIGHT HERE AND NOW its overarching final-season murder mystery remains, from what I can tell, completely unsolved. That's right, readers: The L Word did not, in fact, reveal which of its principal characters killed Jenny Schecter.

I'd say I'm pissed off, but as a loyal viewer of the six-year-old Showtime drama from day one, I can't say I expected anything less ludicrous than the series' final minutes. Just after Alice discovered Jenny's body outside Bette and Tina's home--where the girls had gathered for the couple's bon voyage party--the police arrived, Nikki French jumped out of the bushes (random!), and the girls were called into the cop shop for questioning. Then, the money shot: Cars pull up to the station, and the girls--looking as shiny and luxurious as ever--emerge one-by-one to walk toward the camera (and apparently a wind machine), beaming as the end credits roll. In the background, a retooled version of Betty's epically obnoxious theme song played, no off-pitch voices or dorky lyrics muddling the moment. I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or just sigh loudly and take another deep gulp of wine (my usual m.o. while watching the show).
