Congrats to all of the people of Minnesota (except michelle bachman) for living in a state that recognizes the 21st century!

A friend of mine, who has been in a committed same-sex partnership for over 20 years, told me she got two emails after the Minnesota House voted to legalize same-sex marriage. One was from her mom saying, "What color dress should I buy?" and one from her son saying, "I get to be best man!" A great day for many loving couples, a great day for Minnesota.

Ohio has a state constitutional amendment forbidding marriage equality. It was on the ballot in the 2004 debacle (may you have decades of painful burning external and internal hemorrhoids SO State Blackwell...burn), the main marriage equality group is gathering signatures for an amendment overturning this amendment. I am so happy for those states where equality is real. Thanks Skittles, our allies are so important

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann threatened to leave Minnesota today if the state goes ahead with its plans to legalize gay marriage.

In an interview with a local television station, the conservative firebrand said she believes God will destroy Minneapolis once the legislation is enacted, and wants to be far away when the reckoning happens.

"The Bible is very clear on this issue," she told KSTP-TV this morning, "Homosexuality is a sin, and God will punish communities that support it.

"Sodom and Gomorrah thought they could defy the will of God - and we all know what happened to them. If the governor signs this legislation into law the Minneapolis-St. Paul region will be next.

"I have a friend from Eden Prairie who's already packed everything she owns into her car and is driving out to Montana as we speak. These are very scary times. I don't want my family to be the last ones out."



God Hates Rainbows
Minnesota is set to legalize same sex marriage tomorrow when Governor Mark Dayton (D) is expected to sign a bill passed last week in the legislature.

It will become the 12th such state in America after Delaware and Rhode Island passed marriage equality legislation earlier this year, and the first Midwestern state to pass gay marriage though the legislative process.

Although none of the other states have suffered from Biblical-like destruction, Minnesota's most outspoken voice in Congress told anchor Bruce Nolan that it's only a matter of time.

"I don't know what it will be, Bruce," she said, "it could be an earthquake. It could be a volcano. It could be some sort of flesh eating virus. All I know is that God does not let homosexuality go unpunished, and Minneapolis is next in line for his wrath.

"It breaks my heart to think that the Democrats are willing to play politics with the lives of so many Minnesotans. And I hate to leave so many of my constituents behind, but I urge them - please, please - follow my example and get your loved ones to safety before it's too late."

In a subsequent interview with The Daily Currant Bachmann says she's not sure where she'll go if she leaves, but is seriously considering Oregon as a possibility since its constitution bans same sex marriage.

"I've heard wonderful things about Eugene," she says, "and I think congressman DeFazio may be vulnerable to a challenge. They're the nicest people in the world out there, I'm sure we'd be welcomed with open arms."

"A" stands for "Adios"..."MF" does NOT stand for "My Friend"!
