When Representative Maureen Walsh, a Republican from Washington, gave this speech after same-sex marriage passed in the house, it really touched a lot of people.
Today, with weed and gay marriage becoming legal in Washington by popular vote, the Seattle Times posted another touching video of all the couples who lined up at the court house at midnight.The Space Needle pulled a photo (left) of a billboard from the archives and NPR posted pictures of people smoking beneath it.
While the world turns on as predicted, it's easy to downplay the victory for the LGBTQ community right along with the limited effect on the daily lives of naysayers. Watching all the happy couples reminded me this law does impact lives, in a big way, and you cannot deny the borderline-propagandist cuteness of the recipients of the very first license, Janne Abbott Lightly and Pete-e Peterson (right), who declared their marriage "a long time coming."
