Part of me wants to be cynical and crabby that it took so long. However, when I think about what would have happened if it had been 5-4 the other way, how long that would have taken to fix…I’m just so relieved. I’ve been smiling and crying and feeling all the feels while watching reaction videos and seeing couples finally being legally validated. It’s a beautiful thing.We’re finally walking on the right track.

The twenty first century moves into the twentieth century – funny how politicians and the law-makers lag behind reality isn’t it?

Aye. When it is blindingly obvious that the day will come, and yet they spout their bigotry and bile, thinking it will stop the inevitable – they are but pathetic wretches.

Next stop: the crazy and futile ‘war on drugs’. As Bill Hicks pointed out, if you can’t win a war against a bunch of people on drugs, then what does it say about you?

“…that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
It’s a slow, slow walk, – but every step forward is a joy to see, compared to the asinine steps backward that we see so often – smiles.

So true President and Founder. I think this quote from John Betjeman sums your connection up well –
“The gas was on in the Institute, / The flare was up in the gym*.”
*possibly should be ‘Jim’ instead.
