Yea! Canada

I somehow missed the landmark approval by the Canadian court that allows gay marriage. Yes, marriage. Not civil unions. Not some sort of watered-down silliness. But true committement, and without a residency requirement. Men and women here in the states can be married in Canada and (if living in Canada) have all the same rights of other married couples. If not living in Canada, it is a possible wedge for gaining those rights locally. Someone in our local paper commented that thirty years from now, we'll be looking back and questioning why we ever had barriers to allowing people of the same gender to finalise committed love. It'll be looked as assinine like laws barring people of different races seem today. I hope so. This makes me so happy!!!!
