Oh! Happy Day!
Sunday July 24th, 2011
The day that the first same sex legal marriage took place!
My thoughts? ITS ABOUT TIME!
One more step in the direction of Equal Rights for all, regardless of creed, race, sexuality...
Looking at CNN this morning, and watching the happy couples as they left city hall, it was hard to hold back the tears of happiness that came trickling down my cheek. Hearing various stories of people that have waited almost their whole life just to be treated equally in a society that holds them as unequal. Couple's that have been together practically my whole life, again in society where the divorce rate is at an all time high, just waiting for their chance to legally be considered one.
I had promised myself that I would not go on and on, where it came to this topic, as trust me I can. But I don't want to take away from the simple fact that this day is a day of celebration.
So to close I have to have to reference a picture that a friend of mine took while I was at my first NY Pride, and reiterate my original thoughts of it being...
ABOUT DAMN TIME!
