The people that you meet
Apr. 16th, 2005 06:44 pmI just met Ron Perlman. He´s staying here at the Hotel Borg.
New York, New York
May. 22nd, 2004 08:09 pm( Last weekend we went to New York to spend some time with Susan & Daniel. )
We made it home around seven on Sunday, took a nap, and then went into Cambridge
to meet Beckie & Neil and join the throngs around City Hall, where the first
legal marriage licenses for same-sex couples were issued at midnight. There
were thousands of people there, but I managed to squirm my way up to the
steps, so Jason and I could see and cheer the couples as they came
through. One of the couples had a sign that said "49 Years Together" and the
thought of finally having their lifelong commitment legally recognized
brought me to tears. It was such a different atmosphere than most political
gatherings I've been to--this was a triumphant moment, a joyous occasion, a
celebration of love and community and it was so wonderful to be in the midst
of it.
