City Hall. Midnight. May 17. One step closer to a better world.
It struck me that for all the wrangling and arguing and lawyering that led to this day, there was but one emotion in the crowd - love. Couples were going inside to show their love. Thousands of friends and neighbors and wishers-well were gathered outside to show their love.
Politics were at a minimum, protests nonexistent (yes, a small pathetic cluster of Fred Phelps drones were there, but they were outnumbered by their police escorts).
It was an amazing experience. Congratulations to all.
