After all these years of false starts and renewed hope, the United States of America [USA] Supreme Court finally ruled that same-sex couples can marry nationwide, establishing a new civil right and handing gay rights advocates a historic victory.
Close to nearly half a century ago, "after a riot at New York's Stonewall Inn ushered in the modern gay rights movement, the decision could settle one of the major civil rights fights of this era." CNN source
Who would have thought? As a young man, coming right of high school would I never have encountered the magnitude of this decision by the supreme court. It amazes me on how our lives will change in this regard. Very few ever dreamed a day like this would ever exist much less become a reality to many.
This is a moment to celebrate again, but unfortunately, with vigilance as for some who are not for this ruling [i.e. FOX "News"] will be quick to denounce, engage in hate [what's new?], and attempt to deem it to be immoral and not right.
However, at the end of this day, only America and their role to pursue life, liberty and happiness can be savored. I will. Join me and celebrating this momentous time in our lives. Be it for or against this right. Today, we have a right to be one and be "marry".
