I was looking at the photos and stories about the first same-sex marriage ceremonies performed in California this week. First off, let me quote Wil Wheaton (quote is actually from 2004 - but still applicable today):
An interesting thing has happened since San Francisco started granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples: my marriage is just fine! Even though there are thousands of gay and lesbian couples affirming their love for and commitment to each other, my marriage—my affirmation of love and commitment to (my wife)—isn't threatened at all. As a matter of fact, the only people who can really "threaten" my marriage are the two of us.
Second of all, let me share some of these stories and photos. The pictures with the couples & their children and/or proud parents especially made me tear up, but it's all pretty moving.
