je kan ook overdrijven. opinionating? dat is het hele artikel. of er nou een bron is of niet, de statement blijft hetzelfde. Verder is er herhaaldelijk in de pers gezegd dat dit beleid niet EU stijl is. Dus eigenlijk moet jij geneigd zijn bronnen te geven om je eigen beweringen te staven.

Quick Question
Hi could you please Can take action against the constant vandalism on the Dennis Kucinich Page? It appears people keep changing Dennis Kucinich's name to elf and keebler. Possibly semi-protecting the page would be a solution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theownedpilot (talk • contribs) 21:24, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

DC recognition date
Hi Fortuynist. I saw that you had a question about the date on which DC will recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere. The "Projected DC Law Date" is set at Monday, July 06, 2009 per. You are correct, however, that most DC legislation is supposed to become law after 30 days. However, the DC Home Rule Act states the following: "an act shall take effect upon the expiration of the 30-calendar-day period (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and any day on which neither House is in session because of an adjournment sine die, a recess of more than three days, or an adjournment of more than three days)". Basically, Congress has to be in session for 30 days to give them adequate time to oppose the legislation. This was included so that DC couldn't just pass legislation during the summer recess or between Congresses. Since Congress is in recess for part of May and June, the 30-day calendar period is therefore extended into July. Don't you love it? Best always, epicAdam(talk) 02:41, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

File:Samesex marriage in USA.svg
I think New Hampshire should have the marriage and civil unions stripes until January...what do you think?  C T J F 8 3 Talk 01:36, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it goes against precedent and that while concerns before for Maine or California may have had some validity because of possible ballot measures it's not possible in New Hampshire. Every updated map on every germane website now includes New Hampshire, as well as Maine and Vermont, even though the bill technically hasn't come into effect yet. Consider our readers: they want to know if SSM was legalized, not if they can actually marry right now. That's why they updated the articles and templates so quickly, and agitated on the image talk pages. Niew (talk) 02:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Changes to US LGBT civil rights map
Hello, I noticed the changes you made to the map of LGBT civil rights in the US, and while it's true that Delaware will have to be changed dark blue (the bill actually hasn't been signed by the governor yet, to my knowledge, but he said that he would), I'm wondering where you got the information to change Alaska back to grey. Did the executive order banning sexual orientation discrimination in the gov't lapse at some point without being renewed? Thanks. --Slyguy (talk) 01:00, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * It was a misinterpretation of a conflicting HRC map, but I see my mistake now and will revert it. Niew (talk) 01:04, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
