rivers_bend at 11:55am on 06/03/2010 under link, marriage equality, we're here we're queer, youtubeAfter everything that's happened in the last couple years, I can sometimes get discouraged or pessimistic about the whole "gay marriage" thing, but I finally read/watched these this morning, and I am feeling a happy glow. And so, I share.
New York Times who say, in part, City officials say the measure will also provide a financial boost to the local economy. A study by the Williams Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, predicted that more than 14,000 same-sex marriages would occur in the city over the next three years, which would bring in $5 million in new tax revenue and create 700 jobs. Sounds like a stimulus package to me :D
The story in the Washington Post. I love their mention of "a church in Kansas" which is all the recognition those haters deserve.
Speaking of a church in Kansas, have a video of clergy fighting hatred with song:

When they were doing the weddings in San Francisco the first time, I was living in England. and every time I called my mom for over a month, she was at the court house in the city, either at a wedding of someone she knew, or just to be there in the street wishing people luck. It's all so exciting :D
heeee! your icon! You have a great collection of icons.

Someday, I hope in my lifetime, it will be nation-wide, and not something that varies from state to state.

I'm lucky in that I grew up in a church with a lesbian pastor. Though I cannot actually bear to sit through a church service these days due to issues I have with Christianity in even it's most tolerant and open forms, I still am glad to know that there are all those people who would rather sing than hate.
