In among the various ballots running in addition to the federal ones yesterday, several States were voting on the issue of same-sex marriage (the first to offer a vote on the issue).
As of early this morning, Maine and Maryland had approved it, while Washington (the State, not DC) was weighing a similar initiative (early indications positive) and Minnesota looked as though it was going to reject an initiative to enshrine in the state's constitution a definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin elected its first female Senator - who also happens to be lesbian, Illinois elected its first disabled woman, while New Hampshire became the first state ever to have an all-woman federal delegation and governor.

I'm assuming...
...that trangendered governors, senators and representatives can't be far behind. OK, it's an optimistic assumption, I admit, but still....

Now, I am beginning to wonder when a member of big Closet will be elected into a political office?

Same sox...
...what's all the fuss about same sox? I've been wearing the same sox for years.... Well...maybe not all the time; my vision isn't what it used to be and I've been known to pair navy blue with black on occasion! Still, it seems to me we'd be beyond all this foolish discussion about hosiery by now! This is a TG community, after all and we should be able to wear whatever we wish. Why just the other day I was eyeing my wife's pantyhose and wondering if she might miss them, because after all, they did have a bit of a snag in them, or as you Brits like to say... a ladder? And what about knee highs? Nobody talks about knee-highs anymore? Why even bother when they make stay-ups that don't even need a garter belt, though I do like the feel that the elastic produces when you walk. The nice spring it puts in your step... the tug of the fabric and the smooth feel against my leg.... what? Same Sex? Same sex? Why...that's an entirely different subject altogether. Never mind....
Love, Andrea Lena
