Fuck them. Fuck the flag they fly. Fuck the cross on their churches. Fuck the horse they rode in on.

MARRIAGE EQUALITY IS THE LAW OF THE LAND.

But let's not lose sight that the Republican Party will keep trying to take swipes.

I was happy that he evolved, but too bad that 4 justices did not do the same.

The Chief Justice has the principal dissent, which is 31 pages long. Toward the end of it, he says, "If you are among the many Americans--of whatever sexual orientation--who favor expanding same-sex marriage, by all means celebrate today's decision. Celebrate the achievement of a desired goal. Celebrate the opportunity for a new expression of commitment to a partner. Celebrate the availability of new benefits. But do not Celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it." - See more at: http://live.scotusblog.com/Event/Live_blog_of_opinions__June_26_2015#sthash.d6kJTUge.dpuf

I'm just weeping tears of joy. I honestly never thought I would live to see the day we elected a black president, nor see equal protection for same-sex marriage.

Now I want a woman president (just not Hillary), an end to wars, and the removal of corporations in our government. That will do for a start.
