Happy Anniversary !

Yesterday was the one year anniversary of the mass gay marriage that took place in San Francisco, which my wife and I were a part of. The mayor, Gavin Newsom, held a little shindig for us and the other 4000+ couples who married at City Hall last year. It was wonderful to be a part of such a historic event. Mayor Newsom congratulated the crowd and told us "This door is open and nothing the president of the United States can do will ever shut this door. It's no longer acceptable for politicians to come to you every election cycle and to ask for your money and to ask for your support and then say it's too much, too soon. Civil unions are not good enough. Civil unions are not marriage. Marriage is marriage." Perhaps the finest piece of advice he gave the crowd was this: "Don't give up the fight. Don't feel discouraged. Don't listen to the president of the United States." Indeed. Let the fight continue.
