When Jenna and I got married, we did the legal wedding in Toronto and then had a bigger gathering officiated by a friend that had no legal authority to perform a wedding.
We felt a strong need to celebrate our union with our community, friends and family, however we felt an even stronger concern that we did not want our relationship to be legally sanctioned by a State that did not grant that right to the gay and lesbian couples in our community.
So, even though today's vote does not impact me directly, I feel a certain sense of pride that where we live is now one of those places that treats all couples equally.
I imagine that this weekend's pride events will be a little more merry (or should I say, gay) as a result.
