Love Wins, It Always Does

Well, that's what Zoie Palmer says anyway.  And I think she's a decent person to take advice from.

SCOUTS ruled same-sex marriages legal in all states today.

I didn't realize how ripped off I felt until I kept hearing the courts say I could only get married if I fell for some dude.  That was some serious bullshit, and did not endear me to my state in the least.  I've already stayed in one place longer than I ever have and it's driving me crazy on it's own.  Toss in the weird desperate hate that spews when people start asking for equal rights, and...

But today's a good day, because 5-4 is a win.  And the people who say that now gays can get married, it's time to move to Canada are hilariously awesome and some of my favorite gripers.  The American Consulate in TO draped a giant rainbow flag down the building to welcome itself to the rest of the country, where this shit's been legal for years.  Their first gay marriage happened 13 years ago.  Welcome to the 21st, U.S.

Too bad they couldn't have ruled before Pride.  Though I'm sure some cities still have parades coming up. right?  hell if I know.

But the did rule, and it's outcome is pretty damn sweet.

I can marry whomever it is with which I fall in love, assuming they've also fallen in love with me.

If both of us want, we could get married.

I can marry whoever the hell I love. Period.

And that's fucking awesome.

marriage, scouts
