John & I were at the polls in NYC this morning and it was extremely heartening to have to wait in line for over an hour in order to vote. Perhaps it's only in the last couple of months that folks have started to wake up to the fact that it really DOES matter. Hoping for the best on the Prop 8 outcome in CA & that you & Joe will manage to swing by our neck of the woods on your honeymoon trip, spontaneously or no. Love you, boyo.

(I used to be a Unitarian, and surely you can have a church wedding if you are so inclined.) And rest assured the world will catch up you..The H8ers can't stop love forever.

I'm glad it turned out okay. How scary! Congratulations on the engagement. That's wonderful news! It's astounding that we still have such a long way to go in this country, but I hope we at least win the battle against Proposition 8. How sad that it's even a question. And how long until the federal issues, like the ones you cited, are resolved? I fear that's a long way off! But let's not dwell on the negative. The news of the cementing of your love is wonderful. No matter what happens Tuesday, a commitment of love is a great thing!

Congratulations to you both that is great news. Well if you can't marry in CA after next week, then come to MA we are now marrying anyone from other states as well as our own. Yes, the real battleground is beyond the event. I haven't explored the details but I suspect even if you are married legally in the state that the rights of marriage do not extend to things at the Federal level. We can only hope that one day, there will truely be equality for all. Take care and a big hug to you both Jim Damn glad to hear you are are on the mend.
