LINES

Andrew Sullivan yesterday:

AT THE END OF THE LINE: [I am looking at a] documentary short of the line of couples in San Francisco waiting to get married. I found it revealing and deeply moving. The pictures of all those regular and not-so-regular couples waiting patiently in line for hours and hours and even days to get a piece of paper which probably won't give them any rights at all - that's revolutionary in the public consciousness. Suddenly, it's not the gay pride parades and mardi gras festivals that illustrate gay lives. Suddenly, it's love and patience and kids and umbrellas and bouquets and tuxedoes and all the other bric-a-brac of living. How hard is it to tolerate that?

And in the LATimes this morning a runthrough of all the prep that went into this challenge to the bigots and hetero-entitled: Gay Wedding Planners Pursue Legal Strategy.

Heroes and heroines.
