I remember seeing the pictures that were taken of the California gay couples who got married when the legal bars against doing so were lifted in that state. I remember a couple of elderly lesbian ladies who had been in a partnership which was for GHU's sake longer-lasting that the lifetimes of most of the people protesting their right to be together in a manner of their choice, of being MARRIED, of having a legal right to be a spouse and all that this means in practical terms. I remember the sheer damned glowing JOY on the face of George Takei and his own long-term partner when THEY walked away married.
What is the matter with the people who are so bent on denying other human beings the right to that kind of joy? I am very disappointed at the decision. VERY. I thought better of California.
