I didn't have much of an opinion on same-sex marriage until about two weeks ago. Seeing the look of sheer joy on the faces of the couples recently married in San Francisco and those celebrating the recent decisions by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, however, has made it more than obvious to me that marriage is indeed an equal rights issue. After the last two weeks, I simply cannot imagine denying the right to marriage to anyone. I am confident that in fifty years time, we'll look back on stories like this one in the same way we now view pictures like this.
