So good luck, Tom and John. You'll fail but you'll go down in the history books as pioneers, even revolutionaries. You'll make plenty of people think about gay marriage and some will become converts, realizing it's no more a threat to "family stability" than Saturday morning cartoons. You'll help pave the way for that glorious day when gays who love each other can formalize and sanctify their bond, just like straights.

You're beautiful dreamers, and that's not a bad thing to be.
