Drew Phoenix, left, and his girlfriend, Ellen Robertson, talk about a ballot initiative going before local voters Tuesday that calls for equal legal protections for gay and transgender residents, Friday, March 30, 2012, in Anchorage, Alaska. Drew, 53, a transgender male, says he knew he was born the wrong gender at age three.

"From an early age," he says, "if somebody would say, 'Oh, what a cute girl,' I would say, 'No, I'm a boy.'"

The election for Proposition 5 was today....

There was a ballot shortage late in the day. It's crazy. :/
I'm glad I voted early.
