Dec 2012

I am at once incredibly happy that they can now express their love for each other as I have always been able to...

and incredibly angry that that right has been withheld from them for so long.

But on this joyful day I will choose to revel in the former and commit myself to working toward a world where the latter no longer exists for anyone in any state.

Thank you again.
