This moment, above, when Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon cut their (what is this, 47th? time down the aisle?) wedding cake, is where I started crying while watching the news last night. (Just in case you were all sitting around wondering what it takes to make me lose it.)
They are like the oldest, sweetest lesbians in the world, and somehow they found each other, and then thankfully they decided they had to help everyone else have a shot at doing the same. Last night they had a sweet, private ceremony with the man (Mayor Gavin Newsom) who was just too outraged at inequality to stay quiet about it, and then they made me and a lot of other people get all teary-eyed and stupid by doing the most simple thing in the world: celebrating their love for each other and their community.
