Ms. Lyon and Ms. Martin were the first gay couple to get married in San Francisco today. They have been together for 55 years. They really are an example to couples, gay and straight, everywhere and if that example, the fact that they've been together through thick and thin and some really tough times for gay people, can impact marriage as we currently define it, then that can only be a good thing.
May the Goddess bless all your days, ladies, and all the days of everyone who got married today.
In related news....
Nancy and I will be getting married on September 5. We will be doing a very small civil ceremony at the county clerks office in the presence of a couple of good friends. Because we're trying to save money for a move come spring, there will be no reception or party or anything.
We do intend to do something along the lines of a reception/party at some point when we can afford it and when we can give friends and family enough warning so that people who wish to can join us. But, call us cynical, we wanted to do the legal thing, get that paperwork, before Election Day, just in case the ballot initiative to change the state constitution passes.
We're not registering for stuff or really expecting gifts this time, but if you want to do something, we've registered here (give it a couple of days before you try) with Equality California’s Marriage PAC, which is working to defeat the ballot initiative.
