It's hard to explain how I've been feeling lately over everything going on. This whole gay marriage issue has really affected me in a profound way I never expected. I never, never, never thought we'd be facing the prospects of gays legally tying the knot in only a few short months.

I used to say I really didn't care much about the whole issue. After all, why do I need a piece of paper to validate a relationship?

It does matter.

And more importantly, I think I'm starting to realize that it means something to me. It means acceptance. What's going on in San Francisco and Massachusetts is simply ground breaking, and I feel as if we're watching history in the making.

And it leaves me simply... awestruck.

I just watched "Totally Gay" on vh1. Sending a tingle up my spine, the show really drove home how much things have changed in just the last decade. We're not weak, in fact as a group, we're largely successful. In taking these stands over marriage we're proving that we are not at their whims. I'm no longer willing to accept anything — anything less than what's right. And I don't want to pretend they don't matter, and that I don't care.

We're neither substandard nor second class citizens, and we deserve all the same rights and privileges as everyone else. And we shouldn't accept anything less.

Valentine's Day, that great state holiday

NEW RULE: You can't claim you're the party of smaller government, and then clamor to make laws about love. If there's one area I don't want the US government to add to its list of screw-ups, it's love.

On the occasion of this Valentine's Day, let's stop and ask ourselves: What business is it of the state how consenting adults choose to pair off, share expenses, and eventually stop having sex with each other?
