Making the seconds count.

[kiya]

Long-time gay activists married in San Francisco.

They've been together for fifty years.

This is the sanctity of marriage. This is protecting real families.

Here I am, a Massachusetts gal, sitting south of the San Francisco Bay trying to figure out which direction to throw the good wishes, congratulations, and thumbs up -- while my legislature thrashes about with angst about the same thing. While my rep and senator almost do the right thing. (Both voted down Finneran, at least.)

We're on the healing path
We're on a roller coaster ride
That could never turn back
And if you love me
And if you really try
To make the seconds count
Then we can close our eyes

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream ... ("We Close Our Eyes", Oingo Boingo)

Cool. :)

Hey, you're at P-Con, right? Just remembering this. Wave at the HON people for me, if you run into them. Wish I could be there too!!

Have a wonderful time.

I was planning on going to one of the events they're organising, so I expect to run into them -- I'll say hi as relevant. :)

I saw this picture of those women's marriage; very moving. San Francisco's done the right thing, no question!

Have a wonderful time at PantheaCon! :)
