Commitment

Today these two women legally married. One is 87 and the other is 84 and they've been together for 55 years. That's 55 years of a commitment that they could have walked away from at any point over the years without any legal issues. That's 55 years facing prejudice and discrimination in the name of love...only love.

I have no desire to discuss the "right or wrong" of gay marriages. I have no soapbox today. There is one thing I do know...when I look at my life, I can say with certainty that they have more of a right to marry than me.

I'm glad that they've had this opportunity before one of them dies. They've earned it. My best wishes to them both.
