I have my reservations about marriage as an institution--just had to throw that out there--but this isn't about marriage. It's about equality.

This is a beautiful thing.

The snarky bitch in me must quip, "Now, they can be equally as miserable as the rest of us!" Ok, now that that's out of the way: the beauty is that they have choice, and that LGBT rights are inching forward. This is an incredible milestone, and I'm so excited!!!!!
