marriage equality is now the law in vermont. the first to do so by legislative vote.

4 down, only 46 more to go.

edited to add: and washington d.c. voted to recognise same-sex marriages performed in other states. what a wonderful, wonderful day!

what began five years ago in massachusetts, has been slowly gathering steam. someday soon, the supreme court of the land will have to take a stance. a stance that says one of the most bone-true principles of civil rights – that separate but equal is *not* equal – applies to all citizens. that legal discrimination against people based on sexuality, violates our most cherished and oft-stated belief:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

someday soon. not today, and maybe not tomorrow. but soon.
