Marriage for One and All

Everyone be quiet for just a second.  Shhhh....shhhh....you hear that?  That very distant, stifled crying.  You hear that, right?  That's the sound of 'traditional marriage' supporters huddled in their bigotry bunkers.  The Supreme Court today (26 June 2015 [mark it in your calendars]) legalized same sex marriage throughout the country.  This is a monumental event in the history of our country and within the LGBT community.  

No longer will a couple have to travel to another state to marry their partner.  No longer will a civil union be good enough.  No longer will a same sex couple have to introduce their partner as their partner.  They can introduce them as their husband or wife.  

Let's not pretend that this will magically solve everything.  Of course there are still hateful, sad, unsatisfied in their own life so they have to act out against others, people that think that this moment in our history is just the worst thing in the world.  Of course the LGBT community will face ridicule because it's 'not normal' (even though it is).  And of course the sad scared little politicians will try their best to find loopholes. 

I don't want to end on a negative note like that, so let's all take a moment to celebrate this. If you are part of the LGBT community or if you are an ally.  Take a moment to remember this day.  Surely we all have friends or family or both that this directly impacts.  Celebrate today.  For today and forever more, marriage is for one and all.  Regardless of who you love.  

Celebrate.
