Happy Day

George Takei and his longtime partner, Brad Altman, have agreed to live long and prosper together. I am so happy for them and Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi and all the other gays in California who can enjoy the same rights of most Americans. Now for the remaining states.

Well I think the choice should be there for everyone. I believe being married gives one rights regarding medical decisions and property and social security and other things like that that otherwise have to be covered in legal documents that are not always recognized.

My friend's son recently announced he was gay and is in love. He is looking forward to one day establishing a family and that might mean he'd like to marry his SO. I get the feeling that this younger generation may be a bit different from their predecessors (or maybe not since males tend to be more promiscuous). Only time will tell when they have that choice.

Eventually it might end up that people (gay or straight) get legal unions in City Hall or someplace and the religious then have a marriage ceremony in a church, temple, synagogue or mosque. Religious gays can then seek out those that allow gay marriages. This way everyone has equal opportunities and no one (priest, rabbi etc.) is coerced into performing gay marriages.
