      <![CDATA[I was there, getting misty-eyed along with everyone else. Every kind of human bond, the full and copious spectrum of human relations, was felt in turn: the warmth of kin, the gravity of empathy, the ecstasy of passion, the solemnity of civic pride, the giddy affection of tribe... An older woman who was attending with her partner turned to me and said "Did you ever think you'd see the day?" Being of my generation, I always regarded marriage equality as a hazy certainty, like the junior high kid with the expectation of a high school diploma. To see the moment through the historical lens, though, is to see something so inconceivable as to dwarf the moon landing -- not a private ceremony in a back yard or a rented hall, but a legal wedding in front of thousands of cheering, everyday, off-the-street people. We lose in the platitudes what we ought never to forget: that love wins, that empathy wins. Sometimes it wins at a glance, sometime it has to work like a root under a sidewalk to break through the accretions of institutional prejudice, but on a long enough timeline, love conquers all.<br />
<br />
Congrats to the happy couples. Truly inspiring.
