At 5:01 today, California began performing legal marriages between same-sex couples, and things were good. This was indeed another momentous day for us.
At 5:01:01, a gay boy was harrassed, and possibly beaten, in rural mid-America. At 5:01:02, a young lesbian girl was raped to "show her what a man felt like," in Southern US. At 5:01:03, a transitioning male-to-female transgendered person was denied a job.
This is truly a great day to celebrate, and we need to acknowledge every advance we get, but don't forget that there is still plenty more left to do!
