Finally a glimmer of happiness! We, they gay community, have been handed a victory. A small but important victory. Senate Scuttles Gay Marriage Amendment. Eventhought we won today, it is far from over. We must be stead fast in our quest for justice, get out and register to vote, know who voted and how they voted. This is our life and our country, and we have the right to live here the way we see fit. If you don't protect your future, and the future of those to come, who will?

The nerve that never relaxes, the eye that never blanches, the thought that never wanders, the purpose that never wavers - these are the masters of victory.
-Edmund Burke.

The smile of God is victory.
-John Greenleaf Whittier
