weddings day
I asked a Catholic acquaintance why Catholics polled higher than protestants in support of marriage equality. She said, "Catholics like marriage." They must have liked today in New York State.
I don't know what rights & obligations the New York marriage equality law extends, but it won't change anything for straight people except we'll get more used to the idea that some of the same sex couples we know are legally married in the State of New York. That doesn't seem so difficult to me.
