Has anyone else out there been following the news on the awesome blog, Good As You?
Maybe today the New York Senate will vote on the marriage equality bill. Of course, yesterday we thought, maybe today….
You’ll need to follow this story on the web, folks. A brief glance at my pathetic local paper this morning showed me that Gannett News Service apparently doesn’t think this is newsworthy. And this in a city whose mayor encouraged gay and lesbian couples—the “Ithaca 50”–to sue the city and the state department of health for the right to get married so that the city could file a cross claim in court supporting them.
I might not want to get married–or, more specifically, my partner might not want to–but I sure don’t want anyone else telling me that I can’t. For a woman who spent her childhood planning the wardrobe of everyone in her wedding using the Sears catalogue, just one person saying no is enough, thanks.
