Somerville and gay marriage
May. 13th, 2004 12:37 pmAccording to WBZ-AM 1030 this morning, Somerville is going to be one of the town's that doesn't give a rat's ass about residency come May 17 and the legalization of gay marriage, joining the ranks of P-town and Cambridge (Boston seems to have wussed out). So people can come and get married with no questions or hassle.
Hooray!
Hooray!

Date: 2004-05-14 08:57 pm (UTC)While I will not go as far and say, as many have, that the fight for civil marriage rights (even civil rights overall) for homosexuals has reached (or will reach) quite the same destructive apex that the civil rights movement did when it applied to people of colour, the similarities are still rather striking. To be optimistic... as bad as things are now, we know that they aren't as bad as they were then and thusly means maybe we have learned a little something in the interim?
not much... but a hope I guess that we have grown slightly more tolerant, but of course a long way still needs to be travelled.
