Yeah, yeah, I’ve been remiss in writing. This may or may not change.
What will change?
Attitudes in the United States of America.
Today I celebrate with friends, family, and friends-who-are-like-family the Supreme Court’s ruling that, yes, in fact, equality is a thing in this nation of ours and we will, on occasion, stand up and loudly defend the application of that equality to all our citizens.
No more counting the states where same-sex marriage is legal — it’s all of ’em.
No more counting the days until the holdout states must recognize same-sex marriage — it’s now.
No more “same-sex marriage,” actually — it’s just marriage.
There’s still a long road ahead; bigotry doesn’t die just because you tell it how the Constitution works.
There’s still a long way to walk on that road, and it winds through worse places, truly dark places of hatred and violence.
Today, though, we stand in a beautiful glade and admire a rainbow.
