Sorry its been so long since my last post but I'm back now and will be trying to update at least once every week.
So now over 2 months from the big win in the Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg becomes the first Supreme Court justice to officiate a same-sex marriage. The President of the Kennedy center, Michael M. Kaiser and partner John Roberts were married Saturday.
Justice Ginsburg was one of the 5 justices to strike down a section of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in June. Justice Ginsburg stated that this ceremony will be one more statement that people who love each and want to live to together should be able to enjoy the blessing of marriage. Same-sex marriage is not legal in DC and 13 states.
Since the defeat of DOMA several states especially those without explicit bans have had cases go to court. Couples are fighting for their right to be equal in every way! We have made great strides but we aren't done. Not until we have full equality and protection under the United States Constitution! LOVE IS LOVE!!
