The most love-winningly, heart-warmingly, and equality-affirmingly normal thing happened at John and Michael’s wedding on Sunday. Friends of both of theirs told Lucia and I stories of how they had hoped that each of them would find someone perfect for them, and what an incredible blessing it was that they had found each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there’s nothing unusual about that, you’re probably from New England, where New Hampshire legalized same-sex weddings six years ago. But as marriage equality has been the law of the country for only just a year, I think it’s worth celebrating that none of the conversations were about John and Michael’s legal rights. That conversation is over – love won. None of the staff at the Wentworth by the Sea snickered about having two grooms; none of the guests at the hotel worried that their kids would see a gay ceremony; and the only thing anyone wanted to protest was the heat. Love won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And for John and Michael, two men who found each other after years of each of them not having a soulmate, their love triumphed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
