Another great headline.

New York to Back Same-Sex Unions From Elsewhere

Yesterday our governer directed all state agencies to revise policies and regulations to recognize marriages performed in other juristictions. Obviously, this is great news. We had already been thinking of taking a trip to California to get married (again), but now there is even more of an incentive to do so. It is still unclear what impact this will have on baby-related stuff- like if both of our names automatically appear on the birth certificate, but even without knowing that it will be nice to have another legal document. Of course it would be great if we didn't have to fly across the country in order to get legal recognition for our relationship, but I do think that day will come. The tide is turning. By then, we will be the most married people ever.

(Thanks, Allen, for the text alerting me to this development. I love you, too!)
