This morning I dropped a good friend off at the Capitol Building in Saint Paul so she could be on site for the historic vote going on today.
I have been on the verge of tears since Thursday for all of my friends who have waited for too long to have their families recognized by their government.
Now I am crossing my fingers that the MN Senate will do the right thing today and legalize same-sex marriage.
Update!
Minnesota is the 12th state to legalize same-sex marriage!
I'm so proud of my state and my legislators.
Sad, though, that we even need to cross our fingers (though I am, too)! Institutionalized bigotry and the willful ignorance it enables makes me ill.
