My newsfeed looked like a glitterbomb went off in it this morning. Very happy to hear the news. A bit sad it had to be fought for so hard
I think it was probably the happiest social media day ever.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

The streets of West Hollywood were filled with many happy people today. It made me happy - moreso, knowing our little city is a drop in the bucket of such smiles.
Been reading the comments on the PJ instagram from this picture, amazing that people with such prejudice can fellow this band. Yeah, it's mostly the religious lot but still...great to see PJ coming out so to speak in solidarity as expected! Good times!

Sorry Pal, believe it or not this band is not Just for YOU. I for one am happy for my Gay friends. The Gay Pride Parade tomorrow aught 2 be something else in Chicago, I just wish the raunchiness it has become would take a back seat to a celebration of this ruling. Especially for the parents who come to expose their children to this group of people at a young age.

Dan, what do you mean by "expose their children to this group of people at a young"? Like, kids somehow will be tarnished by being in the presence of (gasp) GAY people? I must be reading that wrong, right?

I really do believe yesterday was a beautiful day in this country.
Yes! Let's keep the focus positive because this is positively a fantastic move forward!
Don't think to much into that wording cause you obviously are taking it the wrong way. Working this parade the past 15 years it has changed dramatically. The shock value now is over the top now where it does not have to be. Many parents bring their kids to this parade to see this alternative life style and many leave the parade immediately due to the unnecessary nudity, drunken raunchiness it has become. My old Gay neighbors ( been together for 33 years) never go anymore for those exact reasons. Maybe this year it will be different due to this monumental ruling.

Morning, Dan.
I do get what you're saying about the raunchiness; it plays a fairly big role at the annual Pride Parade held here and doesn't seem to promote the notion that it's more about equality, and loving who you love, versus sex itself. Yet - it also is about sex (same goes for heteros!).
But overall, it's about freedom, about not considering being gay an alternative lifestyle, about re-considering and re-thinking perceptions of normalcy.

I see what you're saying. I haven't been to a gay pride parade in several years and didn't know about the raunchiness part of it. No, probably not for kids. I too hope it will be more family friendly in the future.

I really do believe yesterday was a beautiful day in this country.
It truly was! I have joy in my heart, and it gives me real hope. Next up: Marijuana prohibition!
And labeling foods. Fuck Monsanto.
Not a big issue for me, it is easy to know where your food comes from and how it's produced if you care to learn. The folks who would rely on labels wouldn't care anyways.

But what about GMO's, Gambs? I'm totally in favor of labeling because otherwise it fairly easy to unknowingly end up with some Frankenfood in your cart. And even labeling is not the final solution because now days half the stuff you see labeled "organic" or (worse) "natural" is anything but. We need honestly in labeling too.
Anyway, back to same sex marriage- we in the US are now one of 23 countries that have legalized same sex marriage. Excellent!

What's that got to do with gay marriage though? So you don't like sexy parades. Who cares? Don't go to it.

I do support labeling, just not vehemently. If I buy it from a store I assume it has GMO and unsavory production practices at least somewhere in the supply chain.
