Civil Unions Bill Advances to Appropriations Committee

Today was a VERY different day then what we saw back in May when the Colorado Civil Unions Bill was held back from a vote by then speaker Frank McNulty.

Today the Civil Unions Bill was back with a lot of momentum. It was supported by freshman Senator Jessie Ulibarri, Senator Pat Steadman and Senator Lucia Guzman, all of whom are openly gay, and did a fabulous job.

Those in opposition to the bill came across a little bit desperate and crazy. They exhausted the committee with long biblical rants and lots of talk about cake. But, here we are again as the bill heads to the Appropriations Committee. I have faith that we won't have a replay of last year's theatrics and that this bill will pass and become law, maybe even by Valentine's Day.

Now wouldn't that be a great gift for all of our sweeties.

The Poet of Two Moms

So far this year I haven't had much time to do some of my favorite things.... creating art, listening to podcasts while I do it, and writing to all of you, strangers or not, about life as a lesbian in Denver, CO.

Today I found this extraordinary piece by a young man by the name of Noah St. John. And although this isn't a lengthy post, this performance will hopefully fill the void of all of those things until I am back here again.
