Food for Thought

Today in class a student presented an interview he had with an older homosexual man. When asked his feelings on same-sex marriage being legalized in Washington, he answered that he was happy to be able to legally marry his partner but overall he disliked the vote. He continued to say that he cannot truly lead a happy life as long as we as people have to vote on what people will granted what rights.

And a certificate on paper isn’t gonna solve it all

But it’s a damn good place to start

Congratulations to all. :)

One month after Washington State voters approved the state's marriage equality law in Ref. 74, same-sex couples get marriage licenses for the first time on December 6th, 2012. At around 1:30am, Larry Duncan, 56, left, and Randy Shepherd, 48, from North Bend, Wash. got their marriage license. The two plan to wed on December 9th, the first day it is possible for them to wed in Washington State. They have been together for 11 years.

Seattle broke its record for marriage licenses issued in a day before 6 45AM yesterday morning. Click the link. It's worth it.

Jane Abbott Lighty, left, and her partner of 35 years, Pete-e Petersen of West Seattle, hold the very first same-sex marriage license, signed for them by King County Executive Dow Constantine, as the King County Recorder's office starts to issue same-sex marriage licenses at 12:01 A.M.

It's a good day to be living in Washington state.
