    And this is really going to be the thin edge of the wedge.

    I know it's just one victory on a very long road... but after having the carpet pulled out form under us so many times, it sure feels good to get one big one.

    And seeing people SO engaged.

    It wasn't like this when California passed it... Once we had it and it got voted away from us... the community really got engaged and our friends and families and allies all finally got focused on it.

    My brother was the best man at my wedding... can't wait til I get to be the best man at his.

    It really is a shame that this is still even an issue. I hope this has a domino effect on other states.

    austin is simply an anomaly in that state.
    any city who's motto is "keep austin weird" gets my vote. :P
    i'll have to visit one day.

    and yes norm, cali needs to step up...again!
    it saddens me, this country supposedly founded on principles of individual freedoms....and how restrictive we are in too many ways in comparison to many other countries...

    it does make me happy. it means that we are finally pulling our heads out of our asses and allowing people to be equal in the eyes of the law regardless of sexual orientation. this is a big step in that movement, but i have no delusions and i know that there are many areas in this country, particularly in red states, where this fight will go on for potentially decades, just as the civil rights movement. good for the courageous politicians in new york that made history yesterday.
