That sounds pretty friggin' awesome!
In terms of what to celebrate this 4th of July - I am VERY HAPPY I am in a country where women have the right to vote! So glad not to be in Saudi Arabia or countries like that. And while we still have to stay vigilant to keep minorities from being blocked from their right to vote, at least in theory we DO say everyone has the right to vote! (18 and over, and ex-felons vary from state to state aside... hey! we need something to work on!)
And I DEFINITELY will be celebrating that marriage equality took a huge step forward last week with the defeat of the one part of DOMA and the ruling of lack of standing in Prop 8. Little by little, we are continuing to make this a country where all are equal, which I think is one of the best damn ideas of our country!
Have an awesome 4th of July everyone! and if you've been celebrating since the 2nd and you plan on keeping on till at least the 8th - good for you! Keep on to Aug 2nd, what the frack!!!
We have marriage equality in California! and it's continuing to spread across the country! And my friends who are married don't have to worry that if they are married to someone of the same gender they won't get federal benefits! And I can vote!!! swallow THAT you conservatives on this forum!
It's all good; and we're getting better all the time!
