Then said kid will probably grow up hating you and use your god fearing money to go go to gay bars and do gay things and then will come college. No island needed, but probably will use your money for a very gay spring break one day.

Yes No.. thing. Some people are probably voting "yes" thinking they are voting for gay marriage when really they are kicking us in the pants. Damn those tricky parts of speech! those republicans are sneaky too I think many people are also confused by the whole.. Yes No.. thing.

I'm am just so DONE with hatred & bigotry. I was really hoping Corzine would win for a small chance of marriage equality in NJ. I appreciate all of you girls and love Autostraddle. On a joking note if there was a gay island Autostraddle shall rule! Laneia that was an amazing response and so very true, I am actually disappointed that I let that ass get me so fired up.

To everyone who has thanked us for being here -- thank you. We're all still super angry today, but the rewards of feeling this community get stronger -- and bigger! -- is the thing that gets us through. + 2. Laneia FTW Laneia FTW Laneia FTW + 3. A few people have asked things like, "why so many trolls on AS suddenly?" etc. . Firstly, as I think Saphicass maybe pointed out, that's a good thing, b/c the more traffic we have, the more money we make from ads, so HA fuck you haters we're Robin Hooding your asses! . Secondly, the reason is that much to my surprise, we were one of only a handful of large websites live-blogging with a focus specifically on these races last night. Yes there were updated tallies at Bilerco & Queerty, obvs, but the only other active convo I was able to find <em>quickly</em> was at Pam's House Blend. I love PHB so hard btw. This information literally was not broadcast front and center on very many other websites. . OPEN LEFT I LOVE YOU and your maine-specific thread, btw. . I'd look at HuffPo and NYTimes, daily kos, politico, etc but Maine was never on the front page or an easy scroll down. Anderson Cooper had to ASK for an update on Maine. . I'm sure I'm wrong and a bunch of ppl are going to yell at me that they were live blogging it. . But really, the point is that <strong>according to Google and Google News ... Autostraddle was it.</strong> So when haters were looking for a place to hate, we popped up first. This blows my mind, considering that I barely even know what I'm talking about and honestly expected everyone else would be doing exactly what I was doing (live-blogging maine & washington) and no one would read this. i actually thought about quitting when natalie was blowdrying her hair so loud that i couldn't hear the teevee. but i'm glad i didn't even though it got depressing at the end and i started watching puppy videos for the first time ever. . 4. i love you all so much!
