If you guys haven't been paying attention to your T.V.'s lately then you have been missing out on some BIG news!

DOMA (also known as the Defense of Marriage Act) has been deemed unconstitutional by the US supreme court smile
DOMA is a law that says that individual states have the right to refuse the acknowledgement same-sex marriages. This means that same-sex couples can get married but that the state won't see them as a married couple and all the benefits that come with it, like veterans benefits, hospital visitation rights, immigration and more smile
AND prop 8 has fallen as well! which means that same sex couples in california can get married.
so now the states HAVE to recognize same-sex couples the same way that they see heterosexuals smile

as the most amazing Craig Ferguson would say "TODAY IS A GREAT DAY FOR AMERICA EVERYBODY!" biggrin
weather or not your gay or straight or bi or even against this ruling, you have to admit that this is changing the way that america is working. hopefully we keep working towards a future where all 50 states have legalized same sex marriage smile

*throws rice and releases doves* YAY!!!! congratulations biggrin
its so nice to see that the world can look past the hate and finally focus on the love between two people. I know we are a long way off from all 50 states recognizing this, but these recent turn of events just make it seem like that day is closer and it gives me hope smile

Oh yes definitely! 2013 has been a good year for legalizing same-sex marriage though. I hope the second half continues to go in this direction.

me too. im so glad that to find such a big supporting for this cause.
I can remember years ago it was only a select few that would say anything remotely supportive toward same-sex marriage.
I'm glad that people are starting to see that its not about GOD or babies or the so called 'sanctity' of marriage, but about love.
