Love, Post-9/11
Commentary
(09/10/02) It took me until Monday night to finish reading the Sunday New York Times this week. There was tremendous 911 coverage and reflection that I wanted to take my time and digest.
And then I stumbled upon the weddings and celebrations page, which I don’t usually read.
Notice of Thomas Leonard and Chris Lione celebrating their same-sex commitment.
Pre-911, it’s not the sort of thing I would have been comfortable with. But after reading about 3,000 Americans of all walks of life who lost their lives on that fateful day, I had a changed perspective.
While I’m not ready to buy into same-sex marriage, I’m reminded that life is precious, and if two people – any two people – wish to celebrate their relationship, I’m not going to stand in their way.
