The buzz began early this morning as the U>S> Supreme Court ruling came down. It said that all states needed to accept same sex marriage. And Facebook blew up. So did cell phones, twitter and ever other kind of social media out there.
"I heard the news before I even got up and wondered if it was real," said Jeromy Manke who got married just last year. "I think the security from the ruling and the sense of relief are what's important. To think that we'll be accepted in any state in the country is amazing!"
His husband, Brian Jensen said the ruling is historic.
"I've been waiting a long time, but I'm just 31. There are people out there who have been waiting for 20 or 30 years to see this happen. I think this is comparable to the civil rights movement of the 60's! Our kids won't see what the inequality has been like. They'll find it hard to believe that people were discriminated against for their sexual preference."
They say that approving same sex marriage is important for a lot of reasons but their biggest concern has been legalities of owning property, insurance and taking care of each other. Now, they say, the path is clear.
