My wife and I have been married for a little over a year. We have the privelege of being the parents of my 15 y/o son that I adopted with my now ex-husband. Also, we are fortunate enough to live in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, where same sex couples can be legally wed. Marriage is a freedom and a right that shouldn't be denied to any couple that is of legal age, sound mind and who love each other...
Under breaking news at Freedom to Marry;
At an emotional press conference, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, a Republican former police chief, announced his intention to sign a resolution supporting the freedom to marry, a reversal from his prior public opposition. Mayor Sanders said his change of heart and mind was due to soul-searching and personal conversations with gay people he knows, including his lesbian daughter, showing how powerful it is to make the conversation about real people, not just legalisms or hypotheticals. He also described how he has come to understand that his prior support for civil union, rather than marriage, was inadequate and wrong. San Diego now joins the other major California cities in calling on the Governor and State Supreme Court to follow the legislature's lead in embracing marriage equality.
