Here is the thing I can’t stop thinking about with what’s happened here in Minnesota over the course of the past week: the display of support in the Twin Cities was staggering.  The level of f*cks not given to those who might be offended by this acknowledgement of equal rights under the law was amazing.

But mostly, mostly.  I think about a queer kid, riding in the back of her parents’ car seeing the city lit up like this.  Maybe she hasn’t come out yet, maybe she’s been bullied, at home, at school, for being who she is.  I can only imagine what seeing this would mean.  And then I get teary and proud all over again.  

Way to go, Minnesota.  Who’s next?

Proud of you Minnesota!

Don’t forget we had the first lawful same-sex marriage in the United States! Jack Baker (under the name Pat Lyn McConnell) and Michael McConnell were given a marriage license is Blue Earth County in August of 1971. They were married by Methodist minister Reverend Roger Lynn on September 3rd, 1971.

September 3rd, 1971, people. That was the first same-sex marriage in the United States. 41 years and 8 months ago. And guess what? They’re still together. Forty one years.

Fuck all the arguments about how it ruins the sanctity of marriage. Fuck all of them.
