I honestly do not understand how someone can look at those wonderful photos from the first day that same-sex marriage became legal in New York and think that this is is bad thing. I can't even think about some of those elderly couples who have been together for decades and were finally able to wed without getting all teary-eyed.
I was the legal witness when my transgender friend married her wife (because thanks to a convoluted set of state laws about documents for transpeople it was perfectly legal at the time based on their current IDs) The first time I ever marched in a protest was at an anti Prop-8 rally in downtown Chicago, where I proudly carried a sign that I made what showed big flaming meteors and read "The sky didn't fall in Massachusetts!!!"
I really don't get why this kind of thing is a problem. *sigh*
