Same-sex marriage is legal throughout the land, and MUST be recognized by every state!!
Details to follow. Never in my life did i think i'd see it. *** edited to add...marriages may begin immediately, or if the states want to wait as long as possible, they must begin in two weeks when the SCOTUS mandate is published. |

I didn't expect the reaction I had at all. It made me actually cry. I feel a sense of acceptance and freedom like I've never known. What an awesome day to be alive!

I am overcome to think that this happened in my lifetime.
I want to thank Ms.Tinkerbelly for all of her work throughout the past few years in keeping us updated with all of the changes. I know it took time, patience and persistence. This win is for all; regardless of our identity. *None of us are free, unless all of us are. *Paraphrasing something said at one time or another by: Emma Lazarus, Frederick Douglass and most famously Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Like Jar, I cried when this decision was posted as i was follwing the SCOTUSblog this morning; i cried with happiness, instead of the tears of sorrow i cried when California's Prop 8 was voted in by our fellow citizens. This is a day for rejoicing!

First of all I am struck by- if you want the job done right just find a few good women.  Second of all, who is President of the United States (or at least the party they represent) really does make a difference, and the Supreme Court is one of those places- something to always remember when it comes time to vote (see Presidential appointments below). Third, the vote would have never gone the way it did or even have taken place without all of those small daily actions people take every day, along with the big political efforts. Majority Opinion Sonia Sotomayor- Barack Obama Elena Kagan- Barack Obama Ruth Bader Ginsberg- Bill Clinton Stephen Breyer- Bill Clinton Anthony Kennedy- Ronald Reagan (ha, yes!) Dissenting Justices Antonin Scalia- Ronald Reagan Clarence Thomas- George H. W. Bush (senior) John Roberts- George W Bush Samuel Alito Jr- George W Bush Everything we do from coming out to someone to voting and all the actions we take, they do matter and they do add up. The world can be cruel and unjust, but we also can make a difference!

**** note of interest...the losing side of today's decision has 3 weeks to file for a reconsideration of the judgement. I'm fairly certain there would be no reconsideration by the SCOTUS, but that is the reasoning that states are using to hold off on the issuing of marriage licenses. Mississippi (Democratic Governor) said that they must wait until the stay placed by the Federal Court is removed. |

This is not surprising to me at all. The gov. is also against changing our state flag to one that does not include the confederate battle flag. He's a real piece of work. Also, I want to join everyone else in thanking you, MsTinkerbelly, for keeping us informed and keeping this thread going. I know it must have felt ecstatic for you to finally be able to make that post this morning.
