Anti-Gay WY Marriage Law
According to BoxTurtleBulletin.com, there were 16 Republicans who voted the right way on the latest attempt at a defense of straight marriage bill that was killed earlier today in Wyoming.
I see that good guy Dan Zwonitzer, who stood up for gay dignity in 2005 when the legislature last attempted such a stupid law, again did the right thing and voted to consign the bill the trash bin.
Many thanks go out to Dan, his GOP colleagues and the allied Democrats, for showing real backbone today. We gays couldn't have made this small victory happen with you all.
