Epic Granite Solid Equality Win

New Hampshire's same-sex marriage law went into effect at 12:01 AM this morning, and several couples were married on the steps of the Statehouse in Concord.
After 19 years together Linda Murphy and Donna Swartwout tied the knot at 12:01 a.m. Friday, when New Hampshire's law legalizing same-sex marriage took effect.
Nineteen years together...and here's hoping for at least twice as many more.
The couple, who live in Hudson, New Hampshire, said they wanted to be married as soon as they could.

"We were thrilled and proud of New Hampshire ... it was a such a historic moment," Murphy said.

Swartwout said the marriage gives them "words and language that the rest of the world uses."

"When my nephew asks, 'Who's Linda?" I get to say, 'she's my wife,' " she said.
That arc of history does bend towards of justice, as a man infinitely better than myself once mentioned.  Nice work, Granite State.

EPIC WIN.
