November 18th, 2013 the Massachusetts State Supreme Judicial Court ruled that a ban on gay marriage is discriminatory and unconstitutional. Opponents made doomsday predictions about how this would destroy traditional marriage. History has proven those arguments were nothing more than thinly veiled homophobic rantings.
I would imagine the fact that the very, very gay friendly state of Massachusetts having the lowest divorce rate per capita in the United States is a very inconvenient truth for those who continue to oppose same sex marriage on the basis that it harms the institution of marriage.

LOVE CONQUERS ALL!
I remember crying when I heard the news – Blane and I were married July 15, 2004 (the date was significant as we were both born on the same day 20th of Tamuz, 5720) which on the English calendar that year was July 15, 1960 – a Friday and in 2004 the dates aligned again – and on a Friday as well.
At the time we were a couple of 19 years (meeting in 1985;) bought real estate together; saw all four of our parents die; protested; advocated; volunteered; watched so many dear friends be taken from the earth by AIDS in those early days; and so much more.
To me the simplest of things is the most important. When Blane died a couple of years ago just reading the obituary where I was referred to as his husband meant so much. And the fact that the newspaper published it without a blink of the eye was just amazing. Just like him.
