This is a set of audio interviews with gay people who married the first day in New York City for gay marriages.
There is not one of these little pieces I do not identify with. They are all me. Us.
One guy says that in his younger days this would be a criminal act. Another says how their kids have never understood the difference between a civil union and marriage. They insisted that these guys be married the very first day.
Let me tell you. I registered as a domestic partner and it was good to get the certificate. In another year or so, I was married! Nothing like it. The second it was done the thrill went from one end of my body to the other. I was dumbstruck with the reality of it. A hundred friends applauded. One airedale barked.
Glory.
