I keep waiting for the Supreme Court ruling. It's Thursday, so could come today, but also know that it will probably be the last thing they comment on this term.
I'm hoping that it's broad, sweeping, and legalizes marriage across the country. I fear that it will be limited, an overturn of DOMA, with discrimination 'left to the states'.
If it's broad, sweeping, and right, we'll be down getting blood tests that day and applying for our marriage license. If it's not, well, we'll keep on here, doing what we're doing, for the same reasons as when we started it.
It's not fair that others are denied a right we have.
A piece of paper does not a strong relationship make.
If folks with status and privilege give up that status and privilege, others will take notice and ask questions.
As a couple we've gotten through the second and third. Now, just waiting for the first.
