One Step Forward

I wonder if the fact that it was a unanimous decision will matter to the opponents? And I know the fight is far from over, and a constitutional amendment will probably end up on the ballot, but the soonest that can happen would be 2012. And hopefully between now and then the opponents of gay marriage will see that the same-sex couples that were able to marry did not somehow rise up and take over the world. We will not be plunged into total darkness, and there will not be religious persecution for those that disagree. The most amazing thing about this country is that we can all have very different belief systems but still peacefully co-exist as long as each and every one of us treat others with respect and dignity. The same-sex couples I know are not looking for special treatment......just equal treatment. Simple as that. Today I am very proud of my little state and its Supreme Court.
