Today marriage equality is finally affirmed by the United States Supreme Court. At last gay Americans are granted the rights they should have had 239 years ago. It took African Americans 89 years to secure their emancipation from slavery and a further 100 years to earn the right to urinate in the same toilet as a white person. It took women 144 years to earn the right to vote.
I wouldn't complain, except the United States has, after all, long billed itself as the "Freest Country Ever to Exist in All of Recorded History." Sorry, but I would have expected more considering the bombastic worldwide advertising campaign.
