Our state supreme court has grudgingly ruled that city and state government must provide benefits to gay partners of government workers. Anchorage just declared that the city would begin providing benefits almost immediately.
The small joys of living in a red state that’s forced to do something so blue. The news anchors are all serious-looking and speaking in sepulchral tones. The squirming, the grimacing, the forecasts of disaster and woe. The state legislature vowing to pass legislation to negate the decision.
I can’t wait for the barrage of letters to the paper predicting the coming of the beast, and OMG what’s next, benefits for your dog?
Falalalala, lalalala.
