A Bit Late . . .

but wanted to take a quick moment to praise the New Hampshire legislature for passing a June 3rd bill approving same-sex marriage. You can read a NY Times article about it here.

This topic's been on my mind particularly in the last couple of years as a dear friend married the love of her life last summer & as I prepare for my own wedding next year. I just never did understand why same-sex marriage somehow threatens the institution of heterosexual marriage. If anything, having more loving, committed couples willing to take the plunge into the scary sea of life-long monogamy seems like it would do nothing but strengthen the aforementioned institution.

And before long...the winds will be blowing each other."
