The internet is ablaze today in what can only be described as a momentous victory in the fight for equality. The Supreme Court has ruled marriage bans unconstitutional in all 50 states and US territories. Can I get a woot woot?!
All across social media, people are expressing their joy and excitement for what this means to the LGBT community. Victories like this remind us all that we're in this fight for a reason, and all our efforts are worth it. Progress is made every day and everything up until now has led to this very moment. Now, the fight may be far from over, but it's definitely important to take a second to stop, look back, and take it all in. Pray for those we've lost and remember that no death is meaningless. Many tragedies we've suffered have sparked greater involvement from the community and inspired others to carry on even stronger. Never forget those who have come before us, and never lose sight of the path they've set us on. The road is long, but together, as time goes by, we take greater steps in much shorter amounts of time. Equality is the future. Let us take today to enjoy victory as the present.
On a less serious note, I can already hear my mother asking me four years from now why someone my age hasn't found a husband yet. Le sigh.
