Baldwin is quite correct when talking about the issue taken to the ballot box.

As long as this remains the route forced upon us, I'm also afraid the results will be consistently bad for us.

It still boggles this simple mind how people can be so egerious to continue to deny a basic want of two people.

All marriage benefits aside, why is it so wrong for two people, no matter who they are, to become one in a formal union.

When someone can explain that to me I'll be able to explain Einstein's Theory Of Relativity.

Tuesday’s elections produced both great successes and great disappointment for the LGBT community. We can celebrate that voters in the state of Washington soundly defeated a referendum to overturn that state’s new domestic partnership law. In Houston, the nation’s fourth largest city, Annise Parker, an out lesbian, came in first in a crowded race and is now the frontrunner in the Dec. 12th run-off to elect that city’s mayor. In Kalamazoo, Michigan, voters approved an ordinance banning discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity by a wide margin.

The results from Maine, where voters overturned the state’s same-sex marriage law, are deeply hurtful and disappointing. But we should not feel defeated. LGBT Americans and our allies will continue our march toward full equality. History and justice are on our side and we will prevail.

Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) is Co-Founder and Co-Chair of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus and the first, and only, out lesbian elected to Congress.
