thoughts?

There's a thread on the Florida Gay Marriage (and civil unions. And anything else that's kind of like marriage) initiative.

(They're also discussing the California one, too.)

(Funny, it seems pretty much like every other Gay Marriage Tailgate Thread. Although somewhat more polite.)

Nebraska bans affirmative action? Sucks for the lone black guy living in Nebraska.

Glad the abortion mesaures failed. Things I'm okay with passing are stem cell research, medicinal marijuana, and maybe doctor assisted suicide.

What about Mass. Decriminalizing Marijuana? Less than 1 oz. will no longer be a felony and only met with a $100 civil fine. I don't have the totals here but I think it passed with upwards of 65%.

Good to see states are no longer following the Reagan/Bush doctrine on drugs, and are starting to think for themselves.
