Modern Romance

When my husband I were married in New Paltz on February 27, reporters teased me, asking, "Why do you want to get married? Don't you know that marriages don't work out?" My response is: the hundreds of same-sex couples rushing to the altar these past weeks have been together, in some cases, for many years. They've already navigated through the difficulties successfully, and deserve legal affirmation of their union.
