Gay Marriage: Nothing to Be Afraid of Anymore by Kevin Drum

If we have patience while continuing to fight the good fight, then it's only a matter of time before we can legally get married here in TX. Hopefully all our family and friends will still be alive by then to celebrate our love and life commitment to each other.
