This is one of those big, historic moments I'm glad to live through.
I'm glad too. And you know what else makes me happy? I was talking to my dad, and he pointed out that the negative reaction to this has been incredibly low, and mostly comes down to the lawyers. If this were such a blasphemous, terrible act to the eyes of America, where are the crowds of tens of thousands rising in protest? ::looks around:: If people are too blase' about the whole thing to get on their righteous horse and charge down on the deviants... well, that only speaks better for how we are progressing. The world didn't collapse into uproar and "abandon god" and all that just because a few people got married.
Sometimes I try to think about the affects of this, both positive and negative, and what it means for the election year and for the Supreme Court and for the future... but every time I seriously try to consider it as a political issue, my brain just dwindles back down to a simple cycling thought:
People are getting married! Marriage is a happy thing! People are happy! Yay people!

And that's all there really ought to be to it.
