Thank You New York Govenment
Jun. 25th, 2011 07:45 amFor being sensible rather than reactionary. It is a rare thing to see in government any more which is sad.
Most of you know my stance on Gay Marriage. I was at George Takei and Brad Altman’s wedding as a witness to their vows which were so lovely and sincere. They had to wait long enough for their relationship to be able to drink (over 21 years together) before they could get the basic rights that most of us get when we sign a wedding license.
I am happy for all my friends who will be able to say this is my wife or my husband rather than my partner or lover or whatever term they used because they couldn’t get married. Or if they said husband or wife there was a tone of sadness because they couldn’t get married in their state with their families there.
I know this is only a step in the process because there are going to be legal challenges but right now I will take this and be happy for my friends.
I am grateful that this passed.
