APPROVAL

Not that I am looking for anyone's approval but it is sure nice to see it. Have it.

I attribute this to those of us who have married. The world has not ended. In fact, the divorce rate of mixed gender marriages has fallen!

For First Time, Majority of Americans Favor Legal Gay Marriage

This is by Gallup.

Actually, it is quite phenomenal. I know. It is redundant to say that. But it is quite phenomenal.

In 1996 right before we moved to Palm Springs, it was 68-27 the other way. Only 27% surveyed approved of gay marriage.

Fifteen years.

We gave a lot of money to the first law suits in Massachusetts that sued for the right to marry but then we moved and missed out when the law was changed.

Then we got a window of opportunity here and finally tied the knot after being together 33 years.

The tide has turned. By the time this gets to the Supreme Court, the court of public opinion will be flowing for repeal of DOMA and, in particular, the Prop 8 repeal. And the numbers will be better. They cannot get worse. Ever.
