As we await the results of Massachusetts’ special election to fill its U.S. Senate seat, the fate we all knew was coming has arrived: New Jersey today swore in Chris Christie as its governor, putting in office a man who proudly supports discrimination against an entire class of citizens.

The Dems should introduce legislation to deny fat people the right to marriage in NJ. What could be worse for a child than to grow up in a household like that? the healthcare costs alone are a detriment to society…

His winning may be win for the gay community. If Corzine had won, it would have been more gay capture politics. Now new, younger candidates have a job opportunity to come forward that don’t have the generational programming — like Nia Gill.
The loss of the governorship — and the problems Democrats now face in support from gays from the recent stab in the back — may make the Democratic Party see that our votes are not automatic, and have to be earned.
Hopefully the Republican Party will see that they are no longer write-offs regarding gay support and influence of other voting groups, an rethink their votes. Many Republicans almost voted for gay marriage — had the Democrats not stabbed us in the face at the last minute.
The mixing-it-up is great for gays, busing open the Hanoi cage support gays have had, showing the world that we can do more than write letters.
