We can get married now?

Here is the BEAUTIFUL irony.  We have been planning a wedding.  We have been hoping against hope that times would change enough and in enough time that we could actually get married on our wedding day. 

I will leave the majority of the marriage equality arguments aside, I assume if you are reading this at all I’d just be preaching to the choir.

So the funny thing is … it seems that a doctor’s appointment or two, a trip to the Drivers License place, and maybe order a new birth certificate (please don’t yell at me if I am way off, I don’t know for sure how all this works yet) and POOF … legal marriage is an option.

So we go from being a lesbian couple who can’t get married due to tradition/bible/bigots/whatever.  To the SAME PEOPLE and just a bit of paperwork and genuine desire to transition … … and then we can get married.

Someone tell me WHAT is the huge difference?  Two consenting adults who want to get married.

Before transition:  NOT ALLOWED OMG WRONG

After/during? Transition:  Oh yeah that’s cool.

SAME PEOPLE.  It boggles my mind.

But … … I’ll be really glad to get married.
