Well, as a socially conservative Progressive person, I have to admit that I am totally in awe today. I have lived in the state of California for some time now (close to 50 years). I have seen how California has gone from the "premier" trendsetter of our nation during the 60's to somewhat of the "ugly step-brother/sister" of our nation because of so many Hollywood Liberal elites and San Francisco "lifestyle" crazies.
Well I am happy to say, that I woke up this morning and gays are apparently being granted Marriage Certificates and getting married. But there are no cracks in the roads. The bridges are all holding. No dams are in danger of giving way. The newsstations are not breaking to "Breaking Story - Society is under Seige" type stories.
You see, some zealots were claiming that society would cease to exist as they saw it. Well, I am happy to report that I still have to go to work today, call customers, plan software upgrades, take calls and emails from kids about their schedules, make system changes, etc, just like nothing significant happenned today. And that is all because, nothing significant for the majority of people who oppose gay marriage happenned today. They can go on with their lives just like nothing ever happenned and will not notice any difference in their lives.
So congrats to all those who have fought for this day. Enjoy. I know there will be some battles ahead, but for now people will see that the sun still comes up in the East and sets in the West. Summer is here, people are out enjoying themselves, and hopefully they will realize that their lives were not effected because some who happen to be of the same sex decided to get married, and did so, legally.
