I was away from my computer for about an hour this morning and when I came back online, my Twitter feed had exploded with news and opinion links about the US Supreme Court striking down the Defence of Marriage Act. While I’m delighted with the result (check my posts tagged Same Sex Marriage if you’re curious), it’s interesting to watch the reactions on all sides of the issue.
Glad we got the @boingboing RainbowJusticeMindControlLaserâ„¢ working today. We tried aiming it at #SCOTUS yesterday, too, but sadly missed.

90 minutes into the post-DOMA era: MY HETEROSEXUAL MARRIAGE STILL STRONG. Will wait another 30 minutes to see if it sticks.

Gay men and women, today is for celebrating. Tomorrow is for the awkward conversation, followed by the acrimonious breakup.

Who DOESN'T cry at weddings!? RT @GovMikeHuckabee My thoughts on the SCOTUS ruling that determined same sex marriage is okay: "Jesus wept."
