Not much time to write so let's take the usual apologies and excuses for my extended absence from this blog as written. Next time I decide to take four classes during a short summer session I hope someone talks some sense into me. Nah, that'll never happen...
Today at 5pm the law legalizing same-sex marriage went into effect. Maybe it was my imagination but I felt a release of tension, as if a wrong had begun to be righted. I wanted to write a quick post in support of this law, which I hope will soon be replicated across the United States. I've never understood the resistance against same-sex marriage - what's wrong, is there simply too much love in the world already that we must ration how it may be legitimized? Gimme a break. What about the near-hysterical claims that same-sex marriage will weaken the institution of marriage? My marriage feels just as strong as it did yesterday. And let's face it, hetero couples don't exactly have a stellar track record on marital success - maybe we can take a few pointers from those who have had to fight so long for their right to marry.
To close, let me say "Congratulations, pass me some rice to toss and don't even THINK about throwing me the bouquet!"
Peace,
AuntieM
