This is just so darn healthy and heartwarming!! If only these kinds of pictures could have been out (!!) and about years ago to show how freakily just-like-everyone-else gay couples are.

Sob! indeed

Just when I think I'm done crying for the day ...

But they are tears of joy so I am happy to shed them!

I met one of these gentlemen last night while chatting up people in line. I spoke with the gentleman in the wheelchair and we was one of the warmest, kindest, most soft-spoken men--with an amazing Southern drawl--I've ever met. He sat alone at the front entrance before they opened the gates, since the line itself rounded a very ADA-unfriendly hill. He was slightly off to the side waiting for his partner--who was buried somewhere deep in the line--to round the corner so they could enter the building together and finally get the marriage license that they've been waiting so long for. There was something almost poetic about it: that man sitting alone waiting for his partner to catch up with him in line, much like they as a couple have waited for our society and government to catch up in granting them their civil rights.

Congratulations to the hundreds of couples who braved the long wait on a cold night.

And here's the thing: Even just 10 years ago, a whole bunch of people would've looked at this photo and seen nothing but buttfuckers. All humanity erased by a weird fixation on sex mechanics.

But you know what else is kind of icky when you let yourself think about it? HETEROSEXUAL SEX. Like, when your dad goes down on your mom. Also: EATING FOOD. Let's not even talk about childbirth.

At long last, homosexual sex has joined all these other icky-if-envisioned-out-of-context things society agrees to ignore, and I couldn't be happier.

*he* was one of the warmest...

@4 Wonderfully put. Thank you for sharing so many photos and stories today. I am just over the moon with joy today!

@3,

That IS poetic & awesome.

A few months ago I was having a dumb argument with a "friend" who was making the whole homophobe's "buttsex is gross" argument. I didn't really have an answer for him on the spot and as a straight guy myself, I even understood where he was coming from, even if I couldn't fathom why he cared.

Shortly after our conversation though, I was thinking of just what David suggested there, that vaginas are really pretty fucking gross too. I'll make this point to him if I ever talk to him again.

Real big crybaby day at my house. Cannot get enough of these. Last night was AMAZING.

Also, one of the many joyous things about last night: the look of surprise on the faces of some of the couples leaving the building, when they were met with thunderous applause and cheers from the assembled crowd. You could see how much it meant, and how momentous it was. SOB!

Such beautiful tears of joy! This day, as history will show us, is one of the greatest days we have all lived through.

I get so much joy being happy for so many people I have never met.

And you know what? None of these adorable couples is even slightly spoiling my hetero marriage. They're adding to what marriage is. There is more love in the world and that's never a bad thing.

i have but one word:

SOB!

To echo what #11 said, my hetero marriage evaporated rapidly over a decade ago.

I may get married again, I may not, but it was nobody's fault but my own that the first one didn't work.

Here's hoping all these happy, beautiful couples have long and wonderful marriages. Y'all have waited long enough- too long, even.

There was another picture of those guys on the New Hampshire Freedom To Marry Facebook page today, giving their oath that the information in their application is correct. They are possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen.

Please wait...
