osodecanelaSo much to be grateful for.
With the trip here to NJ, I had not had the time to check the news for the past 48 hours, till now that is. Once again, hell has frozen over.
Two federal district court rulings happened yesterday, both finding in favor of marriage equality, the first in Arkansas, the other in Mississippi. My first thought was that had to be a misprint & they were talking about Missouri.
Nope, I was wrong. Is was indeed Mississippi. Hell has frozen over. Beelzebub at this point must be contemplating taking up ice hockey.
I'm still realling with the changes happening.
Seventeen months ago when we got marriage equality back in California, we were 13 states; today that stands at 35 with another 3 in the wings. The speed of the change is dizzying.
I've been legally married 6 1/2 years. Never mind I've been with him going on 34. The last half dozen have been the ones that have seen the most momentous recognition. I'm lying here in bed next to my husband. In my mother's home. Right over her head.
With my sister & her husband in a pair of twin beds down stairs. Mom wanted them to take her double, but they wouldn't hear of it.

Date: 2014-11-29 06:29 pm (UTC)Although Dennis and I will be wed in Indiana, the state in which same sex marriage applicants were jailed, just for applying, just a few short months ago, we still hope that Michigan, our home state, will finally get its head out of its postierior, and finally recognize our marriage.
