The Minnesota Senate has just passed legislation in favor of marriage equality. The legislation had already passed the House and now goes to the Governor to sign, who has already vowed to sign to.
It was passed 37-30.

#literally nothing pisses me off more than this ugh gen y are so lazy they only care about themselves they won’t achieve anything mindset #like wow okay you were born in the 1960s okay pls tell me everything about my generation #you are clearly so experienced and knowledgable about what it’s like to be a young person in 2013#and hey why you’re at it why don’t you tell everyone else how awful we are in your globally recognised publication and thus shape other p… #… people’s view of this generation too? #bc you know you know so much about us
The name “millenials” makes me think of people who were born in 2000 and like of course they are still living with their parents, they are 13.

This. Is. Awesome!
After a 12-9 vote in the senate, gay couples will be able to marry in Delaware starting this summer.
Yup, the march of progress keeps going on.
I find myself in Montreal a little earlier than expected, due to some family matters that caused some change in the travel schedule. So while I wait for the friend I am visiting to be free I find myself at one of my favourite Queer Montreal establishments - Le Drugstore. While Le Drugstore has a predominantly Lesbian patronage (all you ladies / female identified out there this spot is a must in a Montreal visit) you can’t beat the $15 pitchers, the 6+ levels of bar space, the billards, the convenience store, the hair dresser, the roof top terrace, the live performances, and in my current situation taking in the Sens (Ottawa Senators) - Habs (Montreal Canadiens) game.
I have particularly fond memories of predrinking here with friends during my university days. It was a staple before venturing out to Sky Bar or Unity and the more expensive drinks that came along with those establishments.
While my Sens might currently be losing I find myself in a happy space. Free WiFi and half a pitcher down. No matter the outcome in the game it will be a good night.
This story appears in the May 6, 2013, issue of Sports Illustrated.
A HUGE congratulations to Jason Collins for making history as the first openly gay player (current) in a North American major league sports franchise. Hats of sir.
Wonderful speech by Maurice Williamson on same-sex marriage during the New Zealand debate/vote on it.
Spectators and Lawmakers break into song after same-sex marriage is legalized by New Zealand’s Parliament.
Both New Zealand and Uruguay law makers have voted to legalize same-sex marriage ushering in marriage equality to the two countries. Currently the bills await approval from the governor general in New Zealand and the President’s signature in Uruguay (both are expected to give approval).
