For better or worse



This past Wednesday, friends were married after a six-year courtship at City Hall. Short, sweet, simple in a grand and elegant place. How all weddings would ideally be. The couple that followed them from New York traveled all the way to San Francisco to FINALLY marry. After how many years together? Probably forever. Sweet, loving, tender. I could cry thinking of the turns their lives together and apart have taken.

This business of same-sex marriage is booming at City Hall as everyone’s trying to tie the knot before it becomes illegal to get married if Proposition 8 passes. It’s beyond me why anyone in their right mind would prevent any two people from marrying. Just think of the two from New York. As deserving as any couple, right?
