Thank you for posting that article, I loved it! I live in Kansas, a red state at the very center of this country, so I know it will be awhile before gay marriage will be a reality here, too. The good things always seem to happen on the coast and slowly trickle in. I've never known anyone IRL who was legally married to their same-sex partner and I hope that is able to change for my friends.
That was moving.
I haven't heard from my cousin yet on how it was... he had been trying to get the word out to all his friends to go support "no on 8".
