"Top California court backs gay marriage"

Dear World:
My sister & SIL are legit. KTHXBAI



I'm vaklempt.

Update: I told the women in question that I was happy for them, but I really can't convey how happy this makes me. How to explain to 2 gay women and all they've gone through, that the straight-vanilla sister is so happy about this news, that it makes her cry. I can, but I'm not them, and can't see how, I don't know, the "validation of your life as a damned human being" really feels.

But I wrote them about how this has totally made my week. W/all the screwed up stuff in the world (earthquakes, cyclones, stupid people in all levels of life), this is really good news.

Update 2: well, I heard from my sister, and she's bummed b/c the big news story happened on her day off. I told her to switch her days off - if big news happens on Friday, switch your days off to Sunday and Monday, instead of Friday and Saturday.

So, in other words, my sister is going over a rampant, personal, realization following this ruling. [smiley emoticon inferred in this instance. Smiley face!]

Whoo-eeee! Good for the courts, good for your sister, and good for you for your thoughtfulness and empathy.

I just have to say....

I was going to look for your latest posts, and the user name that I first came up with was, "bandaid" something. A band aid you are, my friend.
