If only we could just mind our own business and let others be. - Gutenberg - 04-09-2013
New Mexico governor signs bills to help spouses of straight veterans moving into her state get professional licenses, and vetoes the identical bill to help gay spouses of soldiers moving into her state.

We really need to get over the notion that sex between consenting adults in private is somehow our business. Just butt out, madam Governor.

Sorry, the juvenile in me spotted that part and laughed a little.
I do agree with your sentiment, though.

I applaud New Mexico's staunch defense of their state's ability to continue to discriminate based on race, heritage, sexual orientation, and goshdarned anything else they want to discriminate against.
Because it gives the eventual Supreme Court rulings that much more scope when it all gets shot down for being the backwards cave dwelling thinking that it actually is.
