I don't have much to say, except that I am incredibly happy. Many people that I know and love happen to be gay, and I am so glad that they will now not be denied legal recognition of marriage.
Earlier in the month my cousin Whitney married her sweet girlfriend of many years, Sara. While I was filled with joy to see them declare their love for each other, it saddened me to know that their marriage wouldn't be legally recognized in the eyes of the state - unlike the marriages of their straight peers.
But that has changed now. And I couldn't be happier.
“Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. We have seen the future, and the future is ours.” - Cesar Chavez
