Reading a stolen copy of The Book Thief and sobbed
uncontrollably for a bit..
So, hmm... that was great, actually. (Like, really great. Will read again.)
But then the best news...
My once-adopted
state became lucky number fifteen and passed marriage equality
legislation in both houses on November 5th (and is off to Governor Quinn
for his John Hancock).
So I am
drinking celebratory wine (a couple days later) in a tiny village in Kavango.
And am tearing up all over again...
Wish I could've been there with everyone celebrating in Springfield – or Chicago...
I heard there was champagne flowing in the office... About damn time!
So proud of
the amazing work of the ACLU of Illinois, along with the rest of the Illinois Unites
for Marriage Coalition, and of course the legislators who finally made it happen...
Love is love is love is love.
