One month after Washington State voters approved the state’s marriage equality law in [Referendum] 74, same-sex couples get marriage licenses for the first time on December 6th, 2012. At around 1:30am, Larry Duncan, 56, left, and Randy Shepherd, 48, from North Bend, Wash. got their marriage license. The two plan to wed on December 9th, the first day it is possible for them to wed in Washington State. They have been together for 11 years.

Randy Shepherd is almost too perfect a name for that photo and story.

Damn ... didn't the attackers have machine guns? If so, takes some cojones to go in there with a pistol and no armor.
