re-affirmed pride in NY
I'm just so happy, I wanted to post the good news. Last night, NY passed what was being called the "Marriage Equality Bill" allowing gay couples to marry. When I heard the news, I just broke down crying. I have so many loved ones that can finally be treated as equals here. My cousin has been with her partner for over 15 years.. One of my best friends was thrilled when he found his soulmate, but distraught over never being able to say "I do" to him and it being recognized. I have many friends who are gone, that might still be here today if they knew such a big step for civil rights was going to come through.
I know that maybe not all of you support such things, and I fully respect that. I'm just overwhelmed with pride that my home state stood up, and came through for it.
And I've already been asked to make 4 wedding cakes! The bill isn't even 12 hours old yet, and all my friends are calling me, asking wedding advice, where to get custom tuxedoes, telling me about their cakes and setting dates. Fabulous wedding planner? Think I can swing it!
Update: My friend who I mentioned above just asked me to be the best "man"! I'm beside myself!!!!
Re: re-affirmed pride in NY
I feel like it shouldn't even be a state-to-state thing. It should just be.
And thanks for the congrats. I'm beside myself with joy
They asked J to be the "maid" of honor as well. should be a hoot!
That is so fun!
I am thrilled with the news because I have a very good friend who lives in NY, and she and her partner have long been engaged. They will finally be able to be married, and I am so happy for them.
Go NY!! I think it will be a long, long day before my current state passes that bill, sadly.
Congrats on the best girl and cake gigs!
