Yet we all waited, some of us even longer than others. I can look back to OITM issues from 1991 and read in some of my earliest articles my frustration, my anger, over being denied marriage rights. Afterwards, watching the JP sign the document that said Marriage or Civil Union, I shook from the power of the moment. Busy with letters, with collecting donations, with speaking to Legislators and Senators, with their Clergymen and bosses, busy with hard work. While I thought it would never happen, people stood out in cold nights and sang about justice and some of the bravest people outed themselves to thousands listening all over the state on their radios or TVs.
