Tuesday, March 26, 2013. The Supreme Court of the United States takes on the right to marry.
Incredible. If someone predicted this 10 years ago it would be followed with a roll of the eyes and an utterance of, “If ONLY!”.
Well… ONLY.
All sorts of polls are floating around out there, The NYT posted a great roundup here. In short, those in favor of same-sex marriage have risen from 30-40% range in 2003 to the 49-53% range depending upon who is doing the polling. A Pew Research Center report described the increase in support for same-sex marriage over the last 10 years as among the largest shifts in American public opinion on any policy issue.
Amen.
If you were on facebook today you might have noticed people changing their profile pics to this red equal sign box in solidarity and support. During the course of the day more creative, personalized versions started to pop up. I thought this would be a great place to do a round up.
Grumpy cat fans
Equal time for dogs (btw, Iko is a big supporter)
And Unicorns!
True Blood Fans
Members of the Tribe Celebrating Passover (subtitle: I found the “Afikomen”)
Red Velvet Chumetz for the goyim… from Martha, of course.
A crafty little play on symbols
Lion King (one day we will look back and say this is where we drew the lion) Hey, don’t blame the corny on me, it was not my lion.
C’mon, we all thought it…
Dumbledore for you Harry Potter fans.
Equality for statues!
Rothko for equality.
My friend Rina (hi Rin!, love it!)
And most dear to my heart… my ‘gay husband’ who waited WAY too long to be a husband to his true love.
