Beth's Eye View

I love that moment in time when you realize something so special is happening. It gives you time to give thanks and let it all soak in.

I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.

Welcome, Mr. President. The mini-quiches have gone cold and the ice is all melted, but we’re glad you’re finally at the party.

TuMBLR STAFF SENT ME A FREE TOTE BAG!!! 
The other day I was INCREDIBLY frustrated about the Ask Box restrictions, so I sent the staff an email explaining how much I LOVE the Tumblr Platform, and yet how dismayed I was (am) at the restrictions placed upon Ask Boxes (all in the name of “spam-fighting”, HA!). 
I received an INCREDIBLY lovely reply from Vandy, and in thanks for my email they decided to send me a free gift, which ended up being a tote bag! :) 
YAY! THANK YOU TUMBLR STAFF!!!
