As the sun went down yesterday, I stood on the back patio watching the sky go from pink to orange to red and purple. I wondered if this would be the last day that official and legal discrimination in California would be allowed to stand.
I was in a conference this morning when my cell phone vibrated - true to her word, my sister text messaged me the great new that the Supreme Court of this state voted 4-3 to overturn the ban on same-sex marriage. It was all I could do to not jump out of my seat and shout to the crowd, "We've won! We've won!"
The sad thing is...my domestic partner and I had a bad night last night...and now I feel like a heel for the way I behaved. And I can't bring myself to call her (she might be asleep). I was a petulant drama queen. Would she even want to marry me now?
But as for the bigger picture: what a victory indeed.
