Same-sex marriages began in California. I'm not enthralled with the process that got us here, and I don't think the last show has dropped on this.

But I think that once people begin to see the impact - to see, and I hope accept the fact that the loving couple next door is both male or both female - that some of the heat will go out of this issue.

My position is simple. Stable nuclear families are the best form of social organization this society has to offer, and any change that allows there to be more of them is a good thing.

If you want to know why, read this old post.

Congratulations to the new couples, and welcome to the joyful hard work of marriage.
