    About time! I fully expect my fb feed to fill up with negative bs from my Christian friends. F 'em. This is a great day here in the US.

    I was proud to be British when we legalized it nearly 2 years ago.
    Seriously, though, it's great that this has finally happened.

    I called a couple of friends as soon as I saw the news (and they know who they are) and one of them even cried tears of joy. We won.

    Things were quiet at Flint City Hall, as I went up there to see if anybody was marrying, and

    Watching everyone celebrate is amazing. I'm watching people propose, people get married... people are rushing to get married all over the country right now.

    Though, in some places they are still being turned away. I've heard Mississippi is still turning people away, relying on a technicality to delay. I imagine some other states are doing the same. In the end, it is only a delay, and over the next few weeks -- if not sooner -- those stalling tactics will end.

    The battle now begins around the so-called "Religious Freedom" bills which are seeking to legalize discrimination against us. Expect to see those things popping up all over even more aggressively than before, and likely some being worded more strongly than before. New tactics will likely also be investigated and employed against us. The fight isn't over, even though today was a major victory. The fight is just now starting in earnest.

    I also expect backlash across the world, from bigoted countries, which will strike out against LGBT people there to punish them for the gains we've made here.

    Who Wants To Get Gay Married!!

    It's official. Although we can still get fired in a majority of states, or thrown out of our housing or denied a mortgage for being LGBT, we can legally marry in the US, our children can be protected, we can pass down inheritance without being taxed unduly, and our right to thousands of tax shelters and various legal rights, including the right to visit our spouse in the hospital, the right to determine their medical care, and the right to determine what happens to their bodies when they die, is now protected.

    So who here wants to get gay married? :slight_smile:

    I'm in!!!

    I just saw the news about ten minutes before I came on EC, and I am so ecstatic and overwhelmed with happiness. I'm really happy with the decision. This is history in the making. I'm so proud to be an American right now. Way to go, Supreme Court.
