and so waaaaay overdue! I'm straight but not narrow. I was so happy when my state of MD passed marriage equality. Went to one of my lesbian friend's wedding a couple weeks ago and it was awesome. Celebrating a gay marriage and equality at the same time!
Love = love. Why is that such a difficult concept?
