Even though I moved to Canada in 1985, I am still a New Yorker at heart. The Justice's decision increases my pride in being born and raised in such a fair-minded and progressive city. So, I live in a country the permits same-sex marriage, and I can go home to my family and be legally recognized as a married couple with my partner, Arnold. That's quite a relief after being together for over 25 years.
