Normally I don’t follow the elections, but this latest one has brought some stunning results! Back when I wrote about South Dakota banning all abortions but those where the woman’s life was in danger, well, it turns out that they didn’t ban them back then. They just wanted to try to do so yesterday and were preparing themselves and all that back then. To my surprise, however, they rejected what would’ve been the toughest abortion ban in the nation.

Now here’s something a million times more shocking. Just like 2 years ago, 8 states had ban-gay-marriage on their ballots. At first I was confused, wondering how they could ban something that didn’t exist in the first place, but I guess the gays were trying to ban what marriage is defined as, which in most cases is still a man and a woman. Of the 8 states, there were 4 in the southeast, along with Wisconsin, Colorado, South Dakota and Arizona. By the time I crashed last night, Wisconsin and the southeastern states accepted the ban, not at all to my surprise. I also read a headline saying that those damn conserves were worried about Arizona, and I was like, worried about Arizona? Please! Arizona’s one of the most hateful states in the nation, why would those bigoted control freaks worry about them? Anyway, when I got up I fully expected to read that all 8 states supported the ban, but who should be the one state to reject it of all states but Arizona!!! I was like – Arizona?!?! You’ve gotta be kidding! Way to go Arizona, not that I’d ever want to live there again! I was so shocked and happy for gays I had tears in my eyes. Even though I loved Tom too damn much to care what body parts he had when we met, and even though I’m not the least bit religious, I still consider gays and Jews to be my people. I guess Arizona now has a bleeding heart for all but us Jews, though they also surprised me by starting to crack down on what was always their precious illegals and wanting to make English the official language of the state.

What a record loss for those poor, poor conservatives, and for once the Dems were winning like crazy! Something Dureen and Art O. would no doubt love to see. While they were never as liberal as me, they were never conservative either, being pro-choice and not as anti-gay. I laughed when I read that it was “a blow” to them. Just what the hell did they ever think they were trying to conserve anyway, the constitutional right to rule the country? If someone had told me that incredibly, one of the states would reject the ban, I’d have guessed Wisconsin first, which was the Gay & Lesbian Task Force’s first guess, too. My second guess would’ve been Colorado. It’s a small victory yet a big one at the same time. I don’t know enough about how elections work to know if the rulings will be overturned or not, but for now, it’s a great thing.

Another thing that surprised me which shouldn’t have was the one state (I don’t know what the outcome was) that wanted to strip judges of immunity, allowing them to be sued, jailed, etc. I was like since when were they ever immune in the first place??? No judge should ever be immune in the first place. They’re not God. No wonder there are so many twisted judges. What better occupation to get into than one you know you can be as corrupt and as unfair as you want and get away with it, too.

As much as I couldn’t imagine life without Tom, I’m not going to force myself to have sex with him even if he truly did want to, which I still don’t see how he could, because then I’d only be doing what I did with guys like Ron M and Al L, making myself have sex with someone I wasn’t attracted to. So yeah, I’d rather be celibate and be teased with the Lizs of the world which I can never have.

Normally I would respect the losers. After all, these conserves still have a right to want what they want too, right or wrong, yet I know I’d be laughing my ass off at them if I could!
