Today

Today is a day for the books.

Today, equality reigns.

Today, just after 10:00AM, the Supreme Court of the United States released their rulings on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), and Proposition 8.

Today, with the eradication of DOMA, Dora and I are recognized as equal in every sense of the word.  In our glorious, way-paving state of Massachusetts, and in our country as a whole.

Today, our family in California sees their legal marriages restored, and those not yet married will do so now with full recognition under the law, thanks to the brilliant and necessary strike-down of Prop 8.

Today, our daughter is more protected.  Our family is more protected. 

Today, we are equal.
