Kahn fussed over Ruby Drizin-Kahn, 10, and Jasper Drizin-Kahn, 6. She offered lip balm and earmuffs and told Jasper to button her coat against the rain.
Kahn was a little wired on coffee. She and Drizin stayed up the night before filling out paperwork for a trip to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. After 20 years together, they joined more than 100 other...

Congratulations Echoed - 2010-03-04 20:35:42
I'm glad for you, Ellen & Julie -- you've shown your commitment to each other and to raising your children. Do note, though, that living wills & powers of attorney DO cost straight couples, just as they did you. In the absence of these documents, it's extremely hard even for traditionally married folks to exercise what should be their right. I'm not a proponent of gay marriage, but I am a proponent of civil unions and most definitely a proponent of raising children in a loving home. Wish you all the best!
