Today is stolen and I’s wedding anniversary.

It’s the first time in our 13 years of marriage that I didn’t get her something.

It’ll be the first time we didn’t celebrate.

This past July was 16 years that we’ve been together.

Life sucks.

Same-Sex Marriages Proceed in Alabama as State Judge’s Order Is Defied

The United States Supreme Court denied the Alabama attorney general’s request to further delay a ruling that overturned the state’s ban on gay marriage.

Wow.. All the way down in Alabama.

Leaving Same-Sex Marriage to the States Is a Recipe for Confusion

Even with the usual caveats about reading too much into questioning at a Supreme Court hearing, the big takeaway from this week’s oral arguments on gay marriage was the reluctance of several justices to impose a national standard on an issue that Americans have seriously debated for only a few years.[…]

Looking forward, a key question on gay marriage is whether the intensity of modern media and communications makes such disparities among the states less tenable. The dawn of television hastened segregation’s demise; it seems dubious that its daily indignities could have survived as long amid 24-hour cable and viral videos. (Imagine enforcing back-of-the-bus rules against people filming iPhone videos that might reach CNN in hours.) Today, the increasingly positive images of gay men and women in the popular culture blanketing all regions probably help explain the growing public support for same-sex rights, including marriage.[…]

The arc of American history bends irreversibly toward inclusion of previously marginalized groups, which means that greater equality for gays is inevitable. But the justices are waiting for a cavalry that won’t arrive if they are hoping that the states will establish a common set of rules for same-sex marriage before the Court itself must act.

The same-sex marriage issue must be decided by our top court and not left to the states. These marriages must be legal, valid and respected across the whole, good-ole US of A.

Or … gays can start using different restrooms. I don’t want their cooties.
