And this is George Takei on Facebook:

Today marks a watershed moment in history and a tremendous victory for the principle of equality. The 5-4 decision by our Supreme Court striking down DOMA affirms the universality of love–the desire of all people not only to find, but to value and affirm, a lifelong commitment to another person.

I have lived nearly four score years, and have borne witness to both the heartbreak and promise of true justice and equality in America. Today my heart soars, and my faith in the promise of our great nation is renewed.

Now, if there's anything we gays know how to do well, it is to celebrate! Let the joy of this day ring out with PRIDE.

3. Maybe Gay Pride Day needs a new date.

This day is going to be worth remembering, a day when even hostile pricks like Scalia and Thomas were forced to do the right thing and cede to the majority.

During deliberations.

8. Love George Takei. Just saw Rachel Maddow...

... speaking on Andrea Mitchell's show and it put a huge smile on my face.

I tell you, happiness and love are not a zero sum game.

20. Twin Cities Pride is this weekend.

I seem to remember the Lawrence v. Texas ruling making Pride particularly festive that year, too.

A couple bridges here in Mpls will be lighted with rainbow lights this weekend, I think.

and the I-35W bridge that was built to replace the one that collapsed a few years ago, also over the Mississippi
