After 32 years, I am afraid to hope. A roof top patio has been offered. I'm considering Skyping in our ceremony to a minister, maybe allowing a bunch of friends to Skype in...a new age. Maybe a live band...I know people and this IS Seattle. Oh dear, wedding planning stress is already pressing me. Partner got GREAT news yesterday about her recent health problem. Another story of mine is going to be published. Life is good; somebody pinch me.
Washington state's Governor Chris Gregoire announced that she not only supports gay and lesbians to marry, but will also propose legislation to legalize it.
She explains:
"It's right here [points to heart] that frees me up to do this. I have not liked where I've been for seven years. I have sorted it out in my head and in my heart. I have been on my own journey. I will admit that. It has been a battle for me with my religion. I have always been uncomfortable with the position that I have taken publicly. And then I came to realize the religions can decide what they want to do but it is not OK for the state to discriminate. When someone asks me about my marriage to Mike, I don't tell them I have a contract with legal rights. I don't even think about that. What I say is I love my husband. I'm in a 36-year committed relationship. … That's what marriage really means to human beings. They (gays and lesbians) have to have the same ability to say it's love, it's commitment, it's partnership, it's responsibility. It's not a contract. They want to be able to stand in front of their friends and express their love just like Mike and I did 36-plus years ago. To deny that equality is just wrong."
