I hope that today’s weddings will start to show people everywhere that folks deserve the rights everyone has. It’s still shocking that Americans can be fired for being gay, be denied housing for being gay, be kicked out of the military for being gay, and be denied hospital and child visitation rights for being gay. If the marriages we are creating this week in California can stand as the poster for ALL rights, I hope Americans will start to see that NO Americans should be denied any rights granted to some.

Workplace, healthcare, and child-rearing benefits may be long in coming to some parts of America for ALL Americans, but I hope today’s weddings in California are a step towards equality for ALL of ALL — and soon.
