Get The Champagne Ready
Sources tell us that SB 121 (AKA HB 5) has passed the Senate after a 4 hour debate. All the amendments have been defeated. The bill now goes to the House for debate. Watch here for details!
Update 8:52 PM: Delaware Politics reports that the bill has passed the House as well.
Update 9:34 PM: Our sources report that the bill passed both the House and Senate with no amendments. Welcome to the 21st century Delaware! So, when will Markell sign the bill?
Can I get a w00t for equality?
A 4-hour debate? That may be typical of D. C., but not for Dover. The forces for hatred in Jesus’ name must have been out in droves.
Happy Fucking Lulah!!! It’s about time. A huge thank you to everyone and anyone who lobbied their senator and state reps.

Please note: Nothing about teaching kids in kindergarten how to be gay.
I just thought teaching the kids to be gay was implied….
You thought wrong.
Shocking!
In answer to UI’s question, no doubt that Markell will make sure that anybody who wants to be at the signing will be at the signing. So, it’ll probably be at least a couple of days, but almost certainly before the end of session. If ‘bulo had to guess, he’d say Monday.
🙂 “clink!” 🙂
Do those Champagne glasses look phallic?
Woot! Great day all around…..
The signing might be Saturday at the Stonewall Democrats event in Rehoboth. That might just be my wishful thinking (and hell, my partner and I are sponsors of the event) and Jack is scheduled to be there.
Okay. Let’s move on now and get a domestic partner’s bill on the books!
Bill signing 2 Saturday at Camp Rehoboth
I just want to thank Mr. Copeland and Mr. Protack for helping this bill pass. “Hail to the Losers” and Charlie the next time you have to take your daughter to horse riding lessons don’t look so pissed off!
Oh and I forgot Charlie Copeland, republicans don’t keep a rolled up American flags in the back of their pickups! Show a little respect.
