I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and am proud to say that same sex marriage is legal baby!

I live in Seattle and am so happy that we’ve legalized gay marriage here. My husband officiated our friends wedding tonight (12.12.12). They’ve been together 20 years. To see them standing up there surrounded by their friends and family was amazing.

Also, I live in Minnesota, where we managed to not make a same sex marriage ban part of the constitution. Which… no cookies, but also no switches.

My older brother lives in Seattle. He tweeted this on the day after election day:

“If you had told me when I came out in 1991 that someday I would live in a state where…”

At which point I lost my composure and cried in my office, because my big brother is awesome and so is WA.

Same sex marriage is not legal in the state of MO. I come from a conservative Democratic Southern Baptist home. None of that stuck. My mom and I argued the issue when it was on the ballot in OK. It was and is the one thing we disagree on. She claims that she voted the bible. I tell her that’s all fine and good if marriage had anything to do with the bible. In this country, marriage is not about religion. It’s about basic civil rights. It’s about making sure that my friend Turayis gets to keep the home she lives in with my friend Jen if something (God forbid) were to ever happen to Jen.

I am always happy to live in Seattle, and extra happy to these days. The street party when Ref 74 passed was maybe more emotional than after Obama’s first election, and I was so happy to be part of it.

Wow, these comments are amazing.

I held my little, Californian, Catholic preschoolers up to the computer to show them these pictures of love and tell them how beautiful it is when two people get married. Here’s hoping/working for change in our state and our church!
