Bless them! Absolutely adorable picture of the mothers of the Daughters of Bilitis.
ReplyDeleteThey have weathered more storms and stuck together than the majority of straight couples.....It is a shame they had to wait until they were in their eighties, but better late than never
Yes, love, yes.
ReplyDeleteFor those who don't know, these are the Daughters of Bilitis.
i can't imagine that those who rail against these women marrying could actually look them in their eyes and still protest. it's inconceivable to me. i am so happy about california's decision.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless them both! I can not even imagine what these 2 ladies have seen and lived in their lifetime. That it has taken them this long to be able to legally recognize their union is something else.
ReplyDeleteI am SO pleased for them and all the toher couples who were married. Love is a beautiful thing.
I saw this on the television, and I cried tears of joy for them. Love conquers all.
