I am so proud of the United States Supreme Court today. The Defense of Marriage Act has been overturned and Proposition 8 has been overturned. I am so proud.
I am also a little disappointed. I am disappointed that it took this long for equality. I am disappointed that there are still states that do not recognize gay marriage. I am disappointed that there are still states that do not recognize human rights.
Gay rights are human rights. Everyone deserves equal rights no matter who you love or what you look like. We are all human and we all have rights.
That said, I am thrilled about today's decision. I can't say much that hasn't already been said, but I felt I had to say something. There was no way I could stay quiet on such a beautiful day! I hope this fight for human rights continues until every single person is accepted for who they are, no exceptions. We have a long way to go but it's worth the fight!!
