I have a hard time deciding whether or not I should be happy that my sister doesn't try to convert me, sexuality-wise or just to religion in general. I know she's against gay marriage, but I don't know if she's against it from what the bible says or just the use of the word "marriage." We've never had these discussions and I don't know if I should be glad or not. I think she realized long ago I'm a lost cause when it comes to religion.

I'm really surprised by this ruling; just found out about it after being stuck at work for hours. Both sides seem to agree, though: this doesn't quite seem like the end of this debate, but instead an entirely new sort of start.
