Pennsylvania sees a run on same-sex marriage licenses
As a straight man who has benefited from marriage for almost 21 years, I am happy for them.
PHILADELPHIA — On Day One of legalized gay unions in Pennsylvania, same-sex couples lined up Wednesday outside the city's Marriage License Bureau even before the doors opened at 8 a.m.
In the dreary corridors of City Hall, the smiles of couples were incandescent.
Even a guard at the ground-floor security check-in was prompted to cheer, "Congratulations, guys!" as happy pairs made their way to the fourth-floor office.
For many, this was a moment they doubted would happen.
