Congratulations, France!

Today, France became the world's fourteenth nation to approve marriage rights for same-sex couples. The lower house of the French Parliament passed the "marriage for all" law, sponsored by President Hollande, by a vote of 331 to 225. Although protests continue--even after the law has won--from the far right and the radical Christian agenda along with Jews and Muslims, this is certainly a time to celebrate.

Congratulations, France!

And the good news just keeps coming...

...Gay marriage wins in Washington state! R-74 prevails along with fairness and equality.

It is laughable and predictable to hear the anti-gay foes of marriage equality claim that they lost because they were simply outspent in fundraising and advertising. They apparently can't contemplate the idea that they were simply wrong. What they fail to realize is: allowing someone to have a right that you yourself enjoy does not in any way diminish or harm that right for you.

Congratulations Washington!

And even more good news!

Marriage equality WON in Maryland and Maine! It is the first time in United States history that marriage equality has been approved by popular vote on a ballot measure. I have renewed faith.

This is indeed a great moment.
