Hooray!

Finally, some good news to do a blog post about. The Supreme Court's ruling to allow same sex marriage in all of the United States is good news indeed. Hooray and it's about time. I wasn't sure how the ruling would come down, but with more states allowing same sex marriages, it was going to be hard for the SCOTUS to justify ruling against it. Allowing the states to set their own course for same sex marriage just seemed like a recipe for disaster because some states (cough, Mississippi) you know were never going to allow it. So what happens to a couple who is legally married in Illinois but then moves to Michigan where same sex marriage isn't legal? Is that couple deemed no longer married once they cross the state line into Michigan or Indiana? What kills me is that someone like Clarence Thomas ruled against same sex marriage when he knows damn well that his own interracial marriage would not have been allowed under the law had it not been for the Court's intervention.
