Quick election comment

Even though several discriminatory, anti-gay measures passed yesterday in various states, at least the Democrats made moderate gains nationwide. Not in my red-hot state of Texas unfortunately, but that's to be expected.

Several conservative, anti-gay Republican extremists were soundly defeated by Democrats for seats in the House of Representatives. It's a slow process, but perhaps the tide is turning.

To quote John Shelby Spong once again, ultra-conservative fundamentalists "will eventually die off of their own irrelevancy." Perhaps that is beginning to happen.
