I have been watching this news progress and thinking of you two. Congratulations to Florida, finally! And congratulations on one less piece of legal inconsistency about your life! Rooting for the Supreme Court to have to do something Federal soon, but meanwhile the states keep popping along.

I'm not looking for any SCOTUS actions again for some time to come; I think they've firmly tossed the ball back for the time being, with every expectation that it will be bashed around thoroughly.

I was under the impression that the ornery ruling by the 6th circuit was going to toss it right back to the Supremes. Either way, I think the progress is going to be hard to stop! It is my fond hope that this tide will lead to gains in other anti-discriminatory legislation in many states. I'd invite everyone to come live in MA but it's going to be -19 celsius on Thursday so...

Yay! I love being proved wrong, at least about things like this!

That is beyond wonderful to hear. Congratulations to all of the happy couples.

BTW, did you see the fill for your prompt in the 12 characters meme? Should I apologise for the cucumbers?

Happy Marriage Recognition Day to you and Missy! So happy for you, and for all the Florida couples who now have the right to marry, and have their marriage recognized, in their home state.
