changing of the colors
2015-Jun-26, Friday 02:24 pmToday, the big news is that the Supreme Court of the USA has ruled that all states must allow and recognize same-sex marriage.
The truth in history is often very nuanced, requiring long explanation to convey information accurately. Occasionally, however, something meaningful and whole can be captured in an image, allowing the details of metaphors to unfold in the mind like a well written haiku. Sometimes pictures are better than words.
Not to get all wordy now and defeat my earlier point, but there are two things worth noting about today's court ruling. First, all of the women (plus two men) decided for the government to enforce equal treatment under the law for its citizens, and the naysayers were all men. Second, one of the naysayers is himself now in an interracial marriage that was once illegal. Curiosities to ponder.
People everywhere are celebrating, everyone is sharing the news, media sites are flooding with images and stories, and even YouTube itself has something to say with a collection of videos plus their brief commentary. I was intending to skip the Pride festival this weekend. I am reconsidering my decision, however, after today's good-mood news. #LoveWins #LoveIsLove
