Applause, NYC

I'm obviously not a US citizen, but congrats to NYC for the passing of the Marriage Equality act. I have never seen why adults should not be able to marry whom they choose, and I utterly fail to see why my own heterosexual relationship should somehow be undermined by the occult force of a complete stranger's wedding vows. Anyway, I've always regarded New York as a magnificently take-no-prisoners sort of place, and my visits there have confirmed my opinion that it's a very tolerant one, as well. I am optimistic enough to think that in a few hundred years time, people will be looking back on this sort of development with a bemused wonder that it wasn't always a human right.
