This will be brief...

Tonight is bitter sweet for me. Sweet because our long-fought battle is finally nearing an end -- equality for all. What a celebration we are having for what should have been a basic human right from the beginning. It's long overdue, but we'll take it just the same.

Sadly, it's also bitter because one of the woman that I'd like to share this with - my "other mother" - isn't with us to night to taste victory.

For this reason, I have two diving issues in my political activism that are both energized by today's rulings.
