Feeling the love 2004

An amazing day. I'm happy and exhausted. Kevin Smokler and I showed up at City Hall at about 11:30 or so and spent the rest of the day volunteering. I watched people's bags for them during their ceremonies & gave information and Kevin was a witness for those who needed one. If you are ready to have all your silly internal worries about yourself replaced  with selfless joy, I highly recommend you do something like this. If you don't live in San Francisco, call your mayor and say you want all couples in your community to enjoy the freedom to marry. Equality is a beautiful thing. I've seen few things as beautiful as the joy on people's faces as they were married in that gorgeous building. It's also a great way to be reminded of the diversity of the homosexual community. Everything from middle-aged parents to college-age couples to grey-haired truly long time companions. I am so proud of this city and of our civic employees. When you see the joy and pride on the newlyweds' faces reflected on those of the cops protecting them, you know you're in the right place at the right time.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
