I can't begin to thank everyone who commented on my last diary, and provided support, or offers of assistance, or even possible and actual job offers. As promised, I wanted to give a brief update as to my legal situation and everything that has transpired in the roughly 100 hours since I was fired for being gay (which you can read about here)

I don't often write diaries. I don't really consider myself to be that dynamic on paper (or screen, or what-have-you), but I really felt as though I couldn't keep this to myself, particularly in light of the continued struggle for gay rights that so many before me, and really before all of us, have undertaken.

Tonight, I was fired from a job I was supposed to begin in 7 weeks. Pretty much my dream job. And it is because I am openly gay.

Colorado is a weird state.

Not just when it comes to the fact that we're a state of immigrants from in and out of the country, or that we have 300 days of sunshine a year, or that we elected Tom Tancredo, Doug Lamborn and Marilyn Musgrave to Congress.

The true electoral weirdness of Colorado comes from our position as the only state in the country where any tax increase or revenue increase for state government has to be voted on by the people, because of a little citizen initiative called TABOR: the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights.

I know that most everyone here cares deeply about the presidential race, and congressional races can help ensure a progressive majority for the Obama administration, but I can emphatically say that Colorado's Amendment 59: The Savings Account for Education, is the most important ballot issue that we have voted on in generations. And I want to use this diary to tell you exactly why you, as a progressive, should care.
