Congratulations Newlyweds

I would like to propose a toast. June 16th will be the wedding anniversary for Californians that have been waiting a long time to get married. These Californians have been riding in the back of the bus for a long time and today they had the opportunity to express their love for each other, share legal obligations together and when the time comes, visit their ailing spouse in the hospital as family and inherit their  estate as a spouse should.

They have been forbidden from doing so by people that fear that the institution of marriage is threatened. I’m not sure how it can be more threatened, with 50% of marriages ending in divorce, politicians afraid to express their sexuality except for airport restrooms with complete strangers and the amount of infidelity that exists in the modern American marriage.

To those brave souls that are taking the plunge in California, I say congratulations. And you are living, loving proof that love will conquer hate every time.
