And, I've sent people to the comments section to see the updated version of the resolution (I did get it off the VA webpage). It's not where we want to be, but we're headed in the right direction. Thank you, Margaret and Joie and all the rest who fought so hard for these changes.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-37977688534898717262009-01-26T10:35:00.000-05:002009-01-26T10:35:00.000-05:00I think you're spot on, dear Elizabeth! and we are...I think you're spot on, dear Elizabeth! and we are beginning to feel it over here, and will, even more, in days to come ;=)Göran Koch-Swahnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00925549945659350649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-62094268030423376472009-01-26T10:00:00.000-05:002009-01-26T10:00:00.000-05:00Oh darn, you mean it’s no longer going to be cache...Oh darn, you mean it’s no longer going to be cachet to be gay.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623709712119761741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-48114568418760931542009-01-26T09:57:00.001-05:002009-01-26T09:57:00.001-05:00NC did it last year.

But the Resolution which passed was worded differently, and we fought like hell to get the word "blessedness" back in. The vote was 211 for blessedness, 206 against.

Still, the Times gave a pretty accurate report which is not something I have always seen from them re: TEC. Maybe that's another thing to celebrate. I was also glad to see my friend and just ordained priest, Matt Johnson, quoted.Jane Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538010409948644265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-2006794992430355222009-01-25T20:56:00.000-05:002009-01-25T20:56:00.000-05:00Yes, I know, Scott.
