Wave of the Future

I'm going to try and blog a little bit here for leaving for San Diego.

In a generation, this won't be a story anymore, but with New Hampshire's vote for civil unions yesterday, now all of New England has some version of civil unions, domestic partnerships, or gay marriage. And Eliot Spitzer is planning to introduce a gay marriage bill in New York, suggesting that there's movement downward into the states below New England on the issue. Eventually, the law will change as a more tolerant generation grows up. A party that tries to scare its constituents by stoking the fear of the gay is on the wrong side of history. And I'm not surprised to see Eliot Spitzer on the right side, and with the courage to be an early mover. I believe he's a future star of the party.

I'm looking forward to the time when I see a couple headlines like this and think, "So what?"
