The Wait is Over

The wait is over.

And so is (some of) the inequality and discrimination.

The Supreme Court has struck down DOMA, making same-sex marriages in states where they are legal also  legal on the federal level.

Mama and I are well and truly married.

I cried on the phone with Mama and with Pop.  Then went to school for the last-day party and was teary when I got hugs from several of the teachers (who asked if I were teary for the last day).

And then I told the kiddos and cried some more.

It's all good.  And now I'm baking a big celebratory rainbow birthday cake!  Thank you, Supreme Court, for Mama's wonderful birthday presents.
