olliefreeI was trying to find words to talk about this, but as usual, Dana and Polly have done it far better than I ever could, so I'll just send you there.
I know somebody always has to be first, but I simply can't imagine that pain that this family must still be going through, two and a half years later. I simply do not understand the audacity of the court, their inability to understand right from wrong.
And pay special attention to the map linked at the bottom of Polly's post (here, I'll link to it again - it is a pdf though) and note how Virginia is part of a small elite group that doesn't just have laws against marriage recognition, but broader ones against the recognition of same-sex relationships. In both statutes AND by constitutional amendment.
And note that, no matter how much we may miss it, J and I will not be moving back any time soon.
