Aside from love being love, this was one of the biggest reasons I wanted to see equality across the country, and now it's happened.Hubby's co-worker is a gay man, who married his longtime partner in California. Where we live, Texas, doesn't allow/recognize gay marriage. Recently, our friend's husband became seriously ill and was rushed to the hospital. The hospital staff wouldn't allow our friend to visit his own husband in the ICU; the nurses told him "family only," and since Texas didn't recognize gay marriage, he wasn't family. WTF!!?? Luckily, his husband recovered quickly but the couple were considering leaving Texas after that.
It's downright shameful that it's taken this long but thank GOD, progress has finally happened.
Woohoo! Equality for all!
