Gay marriages are upon us
It is too bad I have to say this is in a gay chat room, but it is indeed about time. The days of gay and lesbian civil weddings and marriages have finally come of age in America. It shows some cultural and political maturity on the part of those who have to make decisions for the silent minorities. Historically, this country has had to make staunch oppositional decisions to assure the rights of those who had no voice. Gay marriage rights are now in that arena. I still do not believe that it becoming legal in some states will ever make it acceptable, but making it legal assures that the rights of all citizens are activated and acknowledged. This is the hallmark of a civilized community.
