The Supreme Court of New Mexico has just ruled that the state cannot bar the right to marry on account of sexual orientation. This is a ringing endorsement of freedom and morality in my former state.
I am, of course, excited because this directly affects so many that I love who still live in New Mexico. However, I am also very happy that the latest state to affirm this Constitutional right is a western state not on the Pacific coast. As equality in marriage law takes hold in NM -- and as the sky doesn't fall as a result -- other western states will take notice. And they won't be able to say, "Well that is just liberal California."
The Land of Enchantment. Now more enchanting than ever!
