Husband & Wife

How accepted is gay marriage these days? The AP has officially updated their usage guidelines. They will now be using the terms "husband" and "wife" even for same-sex couples.

Remember in 2004 when gay marriage was used as a wedge issue to bring anti-gay voters to the polls? It really is amazing how far this country has come in such a short time. I give credit to the young people, who rightly see this as a civil rights issue. Their generation really is the first American generation brought up to be tolerant, and in a melting pot like America, we'll be reaping the benefits of that for years to come.
