While I am very pleased with the Democratic gains in both my state and elsewhere, I am very sad that our Referendum I did not pass here. This was a referendum to give civil union couples the right to inherit property, visit ill partner's hospital rooms, etc. Basically all the legal rights and responsibilities, but none of the marriage benefits. Boo.

Maybe next time.

Or with a Democratically controlled state, maybe some laws can be enacted.
