Yesterday was a historic day in the USA with the Supreme Court ruling allowing same sex marriage in all states. With its celebration and its hastag #lovewins, there were some amazing stories and media coming out yesterday, which makes a great individual Daily Round up edition.
Quote of the Day:
The quote of the day has to be closing paragraph of justice Kennedy’s gay marriage ruling: “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.”
