At the desk of Abraham Lincoln, Illinois signs into law marriage equality. Thank you, Land of Lincoln!
Watch the full signing of the bill from yesterday's ceremony here.
This is an especially significant event on many levels. For me, I am glad to see Lincoln's desk used in the ceremony given his leadership in making America more equal. Also, Lincoln had several intense same-sex relationships, over the course of his life, that appeared to have been sexual. So the symbolism of using Abe's desk at the ceremony was rich, indeed.
