I'd never heard of this tragedy before now. I was 10 when it happened, so this wasn't in some dim pages of history. It feels like a different world, though.

I know we have a lot farther to go and a lot of work to do yet, but how far we have come in 40 years since. The Supreme Court is deciding on a case about gay marriage, which will have the same ramifications as the Loving decision of 1967. And instead of a tiny club hidden upstairs and sneaking around in shame, over 100 of us are about to descend on a fancy hotel in the heart of a Deep South city and get our groove on (fairly) openly in that ballroom.
