Okay, so, since I am just finishing up paperwork for the surgery as well as the necessary electrolysis, I have time to devote towards other important parts of life. One of them is that when/if I propose to my girlfriend, I would like for us to have the choice to get married in our state of New York. The cool part is that the Marriage Equality side is pretty sure it will pass in the senate (it already passed in the Assembly). So I have had a nice time calling twice a day for the last half week (and will start again on monday) calling Dean Skelos. He's the leader of the Senate who gets to decide what is ACTUALLY getting voted on each day. He's, unfortunately, not wanting to listen to the will of the people of New York (or he just enjoyed discriminating against they glbt community, cause, evidently, that's what Conservative-Religious-Republicans like to do these days), and not letting it get voted on. So I keep asking his secretary why it isn't and that he should allow the vote in the Senate.
Since that hasn't happened yet, I left a message on his machine on sunday, and I will go back to calling his office on Monday (if you would like the phone number, it is posted fifty billion times on my FaceBook page)
In other really awesome supportive news, my Mom has requested the paperwork of my surgery (aka the court order or what-have-you) so that she can get my birth certificate changed. Yeah, my mom ASKED for the paperwork for it. She's going to make sure that they will do it without me being there, but my Mom actually ASKED ME for the paperwork so she could do it!! She' really really cool!!
Hopefully, I will put up soon about the Marriage Equality vote occurring AND going to the signing of the bill as well.
