Update on Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbon’s meanspirited veto of the domestic partner bill.. The Nevada State Senate has OVERRIDDEN his veto! It now goes to the State Assembly which is expected to overide as well. Mind you, Gibbons is a VERY VERY unpopular Republican Governor who is divorcing his wife of over 30 years for a former Playboy centerfold, yet another right wing conservative hypocrite!
Vegasguy,
Thanks for the update. That’s encouraging news about the bill.
Hey – I wrote losing Prop 8 was a net win too. Too bad I wrote it on a blog comment instead of The Atlantic.
