Gay Marriage in SF-- does this help or hurt the cause?

Well, what do you know. Gay people are married in the US. And heterosexual marriages… dissolve? Explode? Combust?

Nope. The structure of marriage, the fabic of marriage, the institution of marriage, the sanctity of marriage… they’re all intact. All that’s happened is that more people can now participate.

For this reason, I think this is a massive step in the right direction. People need to see the reality of gay marriage, as opposed to the bizarre apocalyptic visions they’ve been constructing in their heads. The reality is pedestrian; two little old ladies, who’ve been together for half a century, who can now say that they’re married.

It’s a great day.
