Marriage... a federally recognized institution that gives benefits to those who are married.
Marriage, for everyone.

Today we were reminded that the courts do not divide it's people. The Supreme Court refused to take on the marriage case in Oregon. And many people cheered. The highest court in America decided today that it wasn't going to stop marriage in a state. It wasn't going to discriminate against it's people. And more people cheered.
But of course, when people cheer, other's boo. And I'm sure many people booed as well... and that's not my concern. The idea that people want to use a personal belief to not allow other people to make their own choices baffles me. I do not understand how you can say marriage is Biblical or traditional or any other number of things that exclude two consenting adults.
So today, we celebrate all the states that have overturned their gay marriage bans! Today we celebrate the people who are working tirelessly to bring change to the whole world. Today we join in rejoicing as more people can finally marry, and receive the benefits of that union, their partners. Someday may it be ALL states that allow people to get married.
