Supreme Court ruling of DOMA and Prop. 8 to be decided on 6/26 at 10 AM

Prop. 8 is also down for the count!

This has been a wonderful few days in America. So much progress!

[MENTION=1697]FrozNlite[/MENTION], WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?

AT WORK YO. There was a crisis in differentiating between leopard and ocelot prints. But I was on social media when the news broke, so no worries, I was posting up a storm.

It's really cool working at Time Inc. at a period like this. InStyle's elevator bay is the same as People's and TIME's, so it was cool hearing people chattering about Wendy Davis and the SCOTUS decisions on the way up to the office. There's also a huge OUT @ Time Inc. group doing a ton of cool things this month, one of which being a giant History of the LGBT Civil Rights Movement mural down the long hallway leading to our cafeteria, so I'm excited to check it out tomorrow and see if anyone's thumbtacked a little "2013: SCOTUS strikes down DOMA" sign or something (which I might even do myself if no one else does).

All else I'll say of the decision itself, in addition to other posts here, is echoing how great it is, especially in "completing" the institution of marriage for same-sex couples in the states and districts in the U.S. that have passed such laws. I'm so happy knowing that when I get married in New York (as I most likely will, but who knows!), I will be viewed and treated 100% equally as my heterosexual peers, not just partially with sole recognition by the state.

Additionally, I'd like to second another poster in saying it's important not to let euphoric deliria cast a cloud over our minds as there are still - and always will be - many fights left to be won. LGBT people in the United States still don't have full equality in every sense of the word, as there are still issues of rampant homelessness, the inability of LGBT people to donate blood, adoption policies and much more that need to be reconsidered and relegislated - not to mention all the other issues this country faces. So yes, we've made a small step forward, but the biggest feat comes in maintaining that momentum.

Trying to explain to all the men he said "Of course I love you, and would love to marry you, but we can't right now."

Ugh if only...
