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!
