okay, they've got me

[fflo]

As I was telling queerbychoice, I found it hard to maintain my usual "marriage-schmarriage" attitude when I heard about Del & Phyllis, who apparently didn't particularly care whether they were married but were just doing it for the young people, who'd asked 'em. I mean, how can you not be just a little touched by this?:



And now I'm hearing tales of the camping out at the courthouse and looking at pix at this site and, no, I still don't think relationship status ought to convey any benefits in taxes, insurance, inheritance, etc., but I am touched nonetheless. All those folx standing up for their love. Makes me wish I were in SF just to suck up some of the energy.

But maybe it's just my own heartsickness. Or maybe I'm just hormonal. Right?

And here's another article about the weekend: http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/7971121.htm

It's touching me, too, and the whole idea of weddings usually puts me off my feed. There's just so much going on here that rises above the political and cynical, it deserves to be allowed in for a bit.
