We’ve Only Just Begun
Good news.
Wyoming is now free to marry.
Idaho, too.
In the northern-most town of Alaska, in a town where not even roads exist, the first known gay couple marries.
One glance at the news this week and it’s easy to assume that because there’s progress, the battle is over. Sure, these are much-awaited victories that we’re happy to rejoice and celebrate but the reality is, this is just the start. While we gain traction with equality on a national scale, there’s still a lot more to do before we gain our footing in places where it counts, such as within schools, churches, communities and sometimes our own families. Until people change their attitudes and open their hearts to love and in love, the truth is, to quote the Carpenters, We’ve only just begun.
