Whew! What a day it was yesterday! My Twitter and FB blew up with happiness and excitement as soon as SCOTUS came out with their historic ruling. Even the White House got into the act with a new look! The White House was lit rainbow colors on Friday, June 26, in celebration of the Supreme Court ruling that allows same-sex marriage across the US. The 14 states in which such marriages remained illegal, in the South and Midwest, must now lift their bans. The court’s 5-4 ruling (hell yeah!) is the culmination of decades of campaigning by gay-rights activists. Yesterday, the hopes, dreams, and wishes came true for so many across the nation and we celebrated in our hearts, if not in the streets…dancing with joy! And the media went crazy too!
People changed with pictures to reflect this historic ruling and fireworks and incredible memes were everywhere. Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi made the happiest of vids for Vine, (really don’t miss out on that one), George Takei, and it just kept coming in heartstopping wave after wave…and yes, the tears flowed copiously.
This is truly a Gay Pride Month to end all Pride Months! 2015! A toast and a cheer for Equality for All. Now finally is can just be Marriage-not gay marriage or straight marriage…just marriage. Hell to the Yes!
