On Friday, August 8th, at a few minutes past 8 pm, my friends Adam and JayTee were married under a starry sky in West Los Angeles.
The ceremony was at a friend of theirs, in her backyard. Our friend Andrew, who took courses to be able to marry them, officiated.
And guess what, the world did not end and the gates of Hell did not open up (except at Darth Cheney's house) but two men who've been together for 7 years, finally were able to express their love for each other, in front of nearly 80 people. It was a sweet, heartwarming event and one that I was proud to be at.
Getting gay-married is not about making a political statement and is not about ruining anything connected to straight marriage. It's about love, plain and simple. I've known both of them for the last 2 1/2 years, and have spent many hours with them, working with them on both Hidden Frontier and many social events. They are, in an old cliche sort of way, the perfect couple. They compliment each other in the way many couples do, and like many couples, are complete opposites in many things.
But somehow, it works.
To Adam and JayTee, I commit you to our future, one filled with much laughter, and as little tears and pain as possible.
Love, like life, finds away way. It matters not that its love between two men. And Adam and JayTee prove that every day they walk God's green Earth.
