For the country, and for individuals.

My nephew was just saying today how now that his marriage is recognized in Minnesota, they are able to save $300 a month by being able to be on his husband's insurance. Now his marriage will be recognized on the national level, with the many legal things that entails, including issues for their daughter.

Yay!


Now, gay friends: though the work will never be done, think about paying it forward a little bit by, helping out some others who need help, such as voters in the South. Let's get the Voting Rights Act fixed and back and running. And/or gun control legislation. It affects us all.
