A most good day in the Supreme Court, which declared same-sex marriage legal in all 50 United States of America!
I am so moved by Justice Anthony Kennedy's words in today's majority opinion:
"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 they
once 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."
SCOTUS gives two thumbs up for the Affordable Care Act and Marriage Equality. I would say it was a good week for America!

Why I was against same-sex marriage and then changed my mind.
