And Others can soon join us.

And how memorable it was to get married in Toronto on the same week that Spain made gay marriage legal and Canada got a lot closer to following suit! This is the march of history, even if it is going in the opposite direction of my own country, which is frankly seeming more and more obsolete each year. They say that when you get married you start to see every marriage as more romantic. Well, there's something charmingly old-fashioned and romantic about gay marriages! These aren't people who are trying to get someone elected to public office, or hurt other people or to score some political points. They simply believe in the institution of marriage. And how wonderful it is to see people standing up to say that they believe in marriage, and that moreover, they believe in the love behind marriage. They simply want the chance to say "I choose you to spend my life with because I love you" and to have that be acknowledged as love too. Those who would oppose that are on the wrong side of history. But, they're also on the wrong side of human decency.
