And I'm just thrilled by this decision. Thrilled for lesbian and gay coupled I know who will be free to marry now, but more importantly, because- the institution of marriage aside, I think this is a huge step in reaffirming the full citizenship and personhood of lgbt Americans. It's not, to me, about placing married people over single people (although I get where it can feel that way) but about making sure certain people in our society are no longer second class citizens- and that's a good.
