Surprisingly Happy

I support gay marriage yet I found myself made unexpectedly happy by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court's ruling. I'm elated. Woohoo!

I like marriage. It's a great thing when it works: being married has made my life into something even I like. And I no longer can see what the serious objections are to gay marriage, assuming that "Seeing men kiss on the lips is creepy" doesn't count as a serious objection.

So, let me repeat: Woohoo! (And now begins the fight to avoid a constitutional amendment that would annul today's joy. Sigh.)
