Two bits of good news from my former residence:
First, and most important in the grander scheme of things, those of us who support marriage equality- and the end to oppression based on race, gender, class, sexuality, etc.- are thrilled that the Iowa Supreme Court ruled the ban against gay marriage in the state unconstitutional. Needless to say, the rather liberal contingent of Iowa students and alum that I am in contact with are so excited that Iowa came through with this...This path to equality for all is one more attribute of the hope we see embodied by the Obama administration, although this ruling cannot be directly attributed to his presidency. It can be seen, I would argue, as a larger indication of the direction this country may still yet go and its ripening potential for a true appreciation and respect for the rights and dignity of all people.
Second, I got a rockin' fellowship for next year. I'll get paid to write my dissertation- SWEET!!!
