[Tx4obama]

15. That was NOT the bill, the was the vote on the religious exemption amendment. n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. Fuck this guy Diaz.

[Tx4obama]

17. You probably should change the OP title from 'bill' to 'amendment' n/t

[NYC Liberal]

19. Just did. I'm impatient!

:)

[Luminous Animal]

18. WTF. The mods should take this down. 17 recs on total misinformation.

There is a lot at stake here and much anxiety. False flags are piss poor reporting.

[Tx4obama]

20. A lot of people all over the internet made the same mistake. The OP title has now been corrected.

Btw, an OP in the DU LGBT forum has also gotten it wrong.

[NYC Liberal]

21. I edited the title. It is changed now. n/t

[Luminous Animal]

22. Thank you. I'm sorry I am so cranky about this. There is so much tension...

right now in the my neighborhood in the Castro. We so want this victory. New York state would be a huge coup.

[NYC Liberal]

23. No worries, I am so anxious for this to pass as well

that I jumped the gun.

[cecilfirefox]

24. We've won! ^_^ Yay! Go New York! Hurray equal rights! )O( nt

[Tx4obama]

25. The final vote has not yet been announced. The first vote was a religious exemption amendment. n/t

[markpkessinger]

26. Wait until we get the results of the actual vote . . .

This vote was just for the religious exclusions amendments, not the bill itself.
