One Love.

Yesterday, August 1st, 2013 was an Amazing Historic Day in Minnesota History.
At midnight, Minnesota became the 13th state to legalize same-sex marriage...and I could not be more proud to be a Minnesotan!

The lovely Margaret Miles and Cathy ten Broeke (joined by their 5 year old son, Louie) were wed by Minneapolis Mayor R.T.Rybak just after midnight at Minneapolis City Hall. 

Moments before the clock struck midnight, The Twin Cities Gay Men's Chorus serenaded all who had come to rejoice in the Minneapolis Freedom to Marry Celebration.

Jeff Isaacson and Al Girand just after they married, shortly after midnight August 1, 2013.

To quote Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' heartfelt One Love:
"and a certificate on paper isn't going to solve it all, but it's a damn good place to start"

I Believe in Love.  I Believe in Freedom.
And I Believe it is a Right to Marry the Person Your Heart Loves.
It is not a privilege; it is a basic Human Right.
And I look forward to the day when EVERYONE - no matter what state or country they may call Home, but EVERYONE is able to be United Peacefully in Love.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

Aristotle
