pantslessprogressive: New York residents Richard Dorr, 84, and John Mace, 91, have been together for 61 years. Thanks to last night’s victory, they will soon be able to marry in their home state. “We thought about getting married in Massachusetts, but it just didn’t seem to jibe right,” said Dorr. “It should be in the state where you live.” They plan to seek a marriage license as swiftly as possible but don’t envision a lavish ceremony. “Just a couple of witnesses and a justice of the peace,” Dorr said. When they fell in love, back in 1950, “marriage never crossed our mind,” he added. “It was just that we had to be together. We could not stay away.”
