Forty years, and countless battles, and hurdles, all culminate in a victory in the war against anti-LGBT discrimination at the state and federal levels! Despite being happily single, I'm glad the day has come, when the option is there for me to marry the person I may love, in the future if it happens, male, female, trans*, or non-gendered. What SHOULD have been a legal right since the founding of our nation, but has been denied by the idiotic of voters, who thought that rights exist at the will of the majority, has been affirmed, and unstoppable by anyone. I've been a Southern Democrat much of my life, and a proponent of states rights, but when the states fail to recognize a basic human right, there is no choice but for the federal government to step in. Hopefully this monumental case will show both sides of the political aisle, that you CANNOT vote away the rights of ANYONE, no matter how much you disagree with said rights, or the people who enjoy them.

(Surprised no one has made a congratulatory post about it yet.)
The US Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex marriage is a legal right across the United States.
It means the 14 states with bans on same-sex marriage will no longer be able to enforce them.
