Change. Hallelujah!
The first couple to receive their marriage license from the City of Cambridge last night summed up the significance of the day in a simple, profound statement. The Boston Globe quotes Susan Shepherd:
"There's a kid somewhere that's watching this," she continued, fighting back tears. "It's going to change his whole life."

Marriage Fairness:

Hey folks,
I've created a website to help put a human face on gay marriage.
The idea is to eductate the general public on who will really be affected by a gay marriage ban. Its a place for gay couples to talk about their relationship. Please visit the site and tell your story:
