Thanks to the Supreme Court for upholding freedom of individuals. That is the only institution that safeguards the liberties of Americans; of you and I. I am glad to see them live up to it. Freedom is precious and must be cherished.
America has always led the world in cultural advancement of accepting the otherness of others, and respecting the uniqueness of another individual, this is one more feather in her cap.
Religious conservatives may find it difficult to live with this decision. But they will understand it, if they were subjected to harassment and persecution, like many in the world.
Let us not place God unnecessarily between one human and the other, and not make a villain out of him, we are all his children. God does not ask any one to meddle in others affairs as long as they mind their own business as you do yours.
The gays and lesbians have always been there and will continue to be there, and the world will not come to an end because of their freedom. It is not their choice to be gay, its as natural to them to be attracted to the same gender as it is for the heterosexuals to be attracted to the opposite gender.
Bishop Robinson, a gay Anglican priest in New Hampshire who retired last year, was awed, yet sober: It is really about respect, and the respect of the society in which one lives. You don't realize it if you've already got it, but if you don't have it and then you get it, it's an amazing gift.
Liberty and freedom continue to win in America. God bless America. I am proud to be an American.
