"There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune."

So said Brutus in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and so say I, as another regional jurisdiction in Canada acknowledges same-sex marriage. The tides are starting to crest on this issue.

It's been a long time coming since Trudeau set out the notion that the state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation, and there's still so far to go (we'll really know we're there when Alberta catches up with the flow), but I do believe I see a light on the horizon. And it is exciting to consider how much has changed for women and members of racial, ethnic and sexual minorities in my own lifetime.

These days, when most news is so fucking depressing, it's good to have something to celebrate. And to build on.
