took them long ♥♥♥♥
Also, I read some of the background of part of the case that was brought to the Supreme Court, and basically two guys from Ohio (where same-sex marriage wasn't legal at the time), one of whom was probably going to die soon (cancer? something else? don't remember), promised each other that they would marry before the one's death. They went to Maryland, where same-sex marriage was legal, and got married, and then they moved back to Ohio. A few months later, the one guy died, and Ohio refused to list the other guy's name under "surviving spouse" or whatever on the death certificate. And from there, it went up through the court system, and finally was combined with a bunch of other cases and was sent to the US Supreme Court recently.
So, yeah. That's pretty ♥♥♥♥ up and I'm definitely glad this is a thing now.
I also heard a story about some priest or something who promised to set himself on fire if it was legalized (not sure if he actually went through with it but that's beside the point). I don't really understand the logic behind that, because, I mean, if you don't like it, you're not being forced to participate. It doesn't affect you if you just don't. But apparently it matters too much to some people. I almost feel kind of bad saying it, but honestly, if you're really that upset about it, then go right ahead. The world's probably going to be better off without people like that.
