Goodbye DOMA, hello marriage equality!

Post by Xiao Rong »

I'm just so excited about this - the United States Supreme Court just struck down the Defense Against Marriage Act. It doesn't mean that we'll have full marriage equality just yet, but it's a huge step forward. This ... I don't even have words for how happy this makes me!

So happy I am married to a man but i am bi-sexual. I have a lot of gay friends and have always supported marriage equality! I think this is awesome, it is about time the US has taken such a huge step! Marriage is about love and just because many dont "marry the norm" doesnt mean its wrong!

Same here, Lillady - I have many friends for whom this decision will actually really change their lives in a way that I can't even begin to appreciate.

Being lesbian myself this is a very good thing for me. :) I am super happy about this...I just hope my state jumps on board and comes a state that allows gay marriage.
