I just cried and cried when I watched this video joedecker posted. Tears streaming down my face.

"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.

At least some of the strength of my emotional reaction may be hormonal, I guess. But I see the love and joy and bliss on these couples' faces in their wedding pictures and know that they are truly married in every way that matters. There is no difference between their marriage and mine... except that there are people out there who want to rip their families apart and destroy their lives in service to some imaginary ideal.

This. Is. Wrong.

I'm not even pregnant and I cried like a baby.

The other day while we were in the car--always, while we are in the car--Hannah asked, "Why can't two girls get married?"

How can I even begin to explain? I tried, and just couldn't, and so instead told her that love was the most important thing, and that if SHE wanted to marry a girl, it was fine with me.

She said, "Okay, then I'll marry a girl."

If only it were that simple.

It's not just hormonal. I was doing precisely the same thing. I kept thinking about taking a picture of myself holding a sign saying "Don't divorce my moms" until I saw one little boy who had already done that.

I'm glad the sound isn't working on my computer at work. I waited until I got home to watch this. It made me cry so hard I had to take my glasses off.

Same here. (I still have a "Vote NO on Prop 8" leaflet pinned to our fridge... every time I go to thaw something I get mad all over again.)

Not pregnant, thank goodness. Yes on the crying.
