Marry
How can you see the pictures of same-sex marriages happening today in MA and not be thrilled? I will not have a second thought until someone can give me one good reason why it might be damaging to the institution. Then, I'll need to hear why it's more damaging than the farce our beloved Britney Spears made out of it. Even then, I will not likely be convinced, stubborn one that I am, but it would be a start.

It's not quite Brown v. Board of Education, but it's fitting for that anniversary and this milestone to come together. Hopefully, that coincidence will not fuel more competition among the oppressed. The tension between the Jewish community and the African-American, like that between African-American and gay community, is not one I really have ever understood.

But today, let's raise a drink to progress. Today, devotion and love and the secure embrace of family have found a new home of honor. It is not a step forward for gays and lesbians, who are no strangers to devotion or love; it is a step forward for everyone else, meeting them in an improved America, more true to herself today than yesterday.

Well, at least in Massachussetts. Let's hope it plays well on TV.
