dear gay marriage opponents, love wins, b*tches!

Last night I was looking through a lot of online photo galleries with images from yesterday's big marriage equality day in DC.  I'm not ashamed to admit I was fighting back tears...and I actually let a couple escape my tear ducts. 

What love looks like:

What love doesn't look like:

Yup, the Westboro "Church" was there yesterday...all 4 of them.

This looks like a drunken mistake.

This looks like 2 D Listers trying to stay relevant.

This is Jennifer Lopez doing her best Elizabeth Taylor impression.

And their "love" couldn't overcome his fraud.

Yeah, these straight marriages sure were sacred!

I'm not really one to gloat about anything but...

happy marriage equality day, DC!!!

 Today, the city of DC will begin to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.  One of my old bosses is going to apply for one today after having been with his partner for over 25 years.  I couldn't be happier for them. 

I don't think I truly grasped the magnitude of this law until yesterday.  I was chatting with a very politically involved co-worker when I suddenly remembered March 3rd and it's significance.  "Tomorrow is the big day!" I said.  He replied, "I know!  It's so exciting.  I've been with my partner forever and we can finally start talking about marriage and having a family and...I've been so afraid that this wasn't going to happen that we didn't really talk about that stuff before.  This changes everything"

A life-changing law?  It truly is.

Congrats to all the gays applying for marriage licenses today and beyond!
