They are a truly amazing couple. I’m incredibly happy they were able to see the day when they could marry.

Thanks in part to the work done and risks taken by Del and Phyllis, my life is improved. When I divorced and later found the woman of my dreams, I did not have to face the horror of losing my four daughters because of my sexuality. That amazed me, because I live in a conservative area of Pennsylvania!

I felt the gratitude then, and many times since.

Congratulations to this brave, married couple! And thank you both!

I find this interesting for 1956: Homosexuality is not the dirty word it used to be. I could hear someone saying that today and imagine someone saying that in another fifty years.

I get the T-Shirt Hell Newsletter, they had a hilarious bit about Gay Marriage today. Very Funny. I tried to find the cleanest quote: "Getting back to gay marriage, it's not that I particularly want gay people to be allowed to get married. It's that I don't care one way or the other. If you get involved in one aspect of someone's life that doesn't affect you, where do you draw the line? "I hate when my neighbor eats split pea soup. I'm gonna have to talk to him about that. And I absolutely will not tolerate it when someone has a mailbox shaped like a tractor. I've got a lot of phone calls to make."" Full Newsleter
