Dan - Great photo. Speaking of which, I sent you an email re: an offer for photography in case you and Terry have another wedding. My work is www dot conraderb dot com. Phone is (888) Five Nine Five 3850. Just wanted you to know the email is legit. Happy to chat.

@ 42. I love the validation on those faces. A friend told me the other day the validation of approving this referendum has created a complete shift in not only how he sees himself but in how he sees himself in relationship to the greater community. He now feels like an insider in US society.

This is just heartwarming and soooo cute! I'm so glad for you two (and all of Washington, Maryland, and Maine!)!! You two look so happy; it's beautiful.

Yes. I have to say, that on several levels, this is one of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen.

The MUSCLE on Terry's arm!!! (fanning)
The RING on Dan's finger. (fluttering heart)
The VALIDATION on those faces! (tsunami of tears)

Sweet snap!

@27 and 37: As far as I can tell from the law, on Dec 6 Terry is automatically "the husband" legally, since their Canadian marriage will be legally recognized. That's not to say that they can't have a ceremony if they want to (and no doubt it will be utterly adorable!)

It's lovely to see so many beaming faces. I hope the cake was delicious, and I look forward to be able to eat a slice of a similar one baked in the shape of my state, California, soon. Washington, Maryland, and Maine are inspiring.
Mazel Tov to all (including my 12-year-old cousin who worked the phone banks) who worked so hard for such a good cause and won in Washington this week.

Dan, the few rare pics you've posted of Terry (your husband, with NO acronyms, asterisks or quotation marks - YAY) have been sweet. But OMG his *d*a*z*z*l*i*n*g* joyful smile is exquisite. I'm thrilled that the moment was captured in a photo.
37
So, is Terry now just "the husband" without so many qualifiers?
Greatest congratulations, by the way, and I am extremely happy for everyone. But I felt inequality was too close to a win in my home state (MN).

It's all just a little bit of history repeated.

Goddamit, look at that picture. Everything that's happened this week has been so goddamn positive and life affirming - multiple hugeass incredibly satisfying victories for anti-neanderthal-ism. I feel like I'm floating around in a freaking euphoria-cloud.
And now this fucking picture. THIS is what the right is afraid of? A ridiculously sweet family scene complete with smiling blonde babies on their mommas' hips and PDA between two people in love?
Did I mention PDA? Between Dan & Terry? Jesus fucking Christ.

Think of the children! It's just not safe to post pictures of beautiful, yummy, sprinkle covered rainbow cakes where 6 year olds might see them.
Congratulations Washington!
(Cupcake Royale should definitely make rainbow cupcakes a regular item.)

Which colour is for Polygamists?

Aaaand this is what I get by commenting without reading the linked article. Congratulations again Dan! Be glad you're a man and don't have to worry about there being something "wrong" about using the same tux twice!
27
Lovely picture, and good practice cutting the cake ;)
Sooo, has Terry automatically morphed from HICBIA to HICHIA, or do we get to see a few wedding pics of you two making it legal now that it's legal?

Great photos, and congratulations to all Washingtonians, GLBT and straight. But CHS might want to check their maps. Looks like Terry and Dan's first cut is over near the Idaho border, well north of Spokane, not close to Bellingham. Unless Bellingham packed up and moved recently?

I died. There's nothing to counterbalance depression and anxiety quite like seeing shit like this. I'm happy to be able to so directly address such historical figures as yourselves. I hope the world forever recognizes the importance of what you've done for us.

HaHAAAAAA! You will literally be pooping rainbows! Please, please find an appropriate lawn or two to decorate.
16
YAY!!!! Also, nothing sexier than two elated gay men, clearly in love, embracing each other.. LOVE THIS!!!

This picture says it all about an incredible week! My wife and I are long-time allies in Louisville, KY. Our little part of the battle over the last few months has been working on getting Ohio to go for Obama (totally did!), but of course we've also been following the four marriage ballot questions. In Derby country, we call four wins a superfecta. Congratulations, everyone! Scott

Yay! I had rainbow cake. ^_^ And I talked to Dan for the first time eva (even though I see him often, I'm a chicken)! Today was a total win.

I just watched the video at the link. Nice atmosphere, and also, congratulations to Dan for using "literally" properly.
