So, as of 12:01 this morning, same sex marriages have been legal in MN (and Rhode Island!) and I've been getting all teary-eyed looking at all the resulting photos. I've posted a ton to tumblr, but here's a sampling of articles and whatnot. Such happiness and joy!

Oh, yes! That buzzfeed article (http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-75-most-unforgettable-moments-from-minnesotas-first-day)! They do great articles - there was a first day of weddings when they became legal in WA showing all the Seattle ones (http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/60-moments-that-gave-me-the-chills-during-seattle)that always tears me up.

I loved the sign language one. And all those kids! I felt a little bad for the poor munchkins having to be awake at 3am or whatever, but they were all SO HAPPY!!! Yay for happy making!!!
