Way to go.   Gay couples have a right to marry country wide.


It's awesome.






What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    YAY!!!! 

    On a related note, have you seen the new Tylenol campaign? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/12/tylenol-how-we-family-commercial-_n_7561768.html

    Probably one of the only commercials ever to actually bring tears to my eyes. I loved it. And I love that such a huge company has come out with a campaign like this, because it's usually huge companies that signify social change. (Look at Amazon, Walmart and Sears banning the sale of confederate flags BEFORE SC removed the flag, which is still in debate)

    I can't imagine how the LGBT community must feel today because I was never ever denied the right to marry the person of my choice and to be able to collect benefits only available to spouses.  I really do have a huge lump in my throat right now.  To be denied the most basic human need because of your orientation has been tragic.  I just wish so many hugs and big love to all of you who have had to wait for this to be legally married to the one you love.

    He's mad and it's hilarious.

    But...I kind of think SCOTUScare is a good nickname for it. YAY SCOTUS! YAY HEALTHCARE! He's so mad he might not know what he's even saying.

    http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/06/26/supreme_court_legalizes_gay_marriage_here_is_the_beautiful_last_paragraph.html

    The last paragraph really was lovely:

    "No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right."

    I shared a photo of this quote on the Gay Weddings board!  What a beautiful sentiment and definition of marriage! xo

    Our officiant has been asking for our last reading for a month. I kept putting him off in hopes that this ruling would good and have a passage that would be appropriate.And then I read this, started crying and knew we had found it!

    Such a great day! I am so proud of our country today!
     
     
    As soon as I read this I knew it was destined to be read at many a wedding.

    I'm so excited about this for everyone over there in the States.

    Then there's this, which is hilarious:


    People don't understand Canada very well.

    Dear Canadians,

    I will be forever grateful if you will take these stupid Americans off our hands. They are in for a big surprise, aren't they?
