Why yes, I am going to wear my fabulous rainbow flower crown all day long: down to the Castro, to the airport, on the airplane, back to Seattle, around Bellevue....
If I can't stay in San Francisco all day to celebrate Marriage Equality and Pride, I'm just going to have to take the party with me.
Can't stop smiling! I feel like my Facebook Feed is the Happiest Place on the Internet today!
I just came back from the most epic walk around the Castro (before I leave for the airport in an hour). I bumped into several friends, one whom was leading her group on the Cruisin' the Castro Tour. I also saw a group of school kids on a field trip in front of the Harvey Milk Civil Academy. They were getting a lesson on Harvey Milk and the History of Gay Rights.
"No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right."
