(85,153 posts)the two who married black men. Both couples are just oozing a very pure and genuine love. Neither woman behaves or regards herself as some sort of victim, and certainly not someone's property!
The really sad thing is - this delusional young man who murdered the nine faithful in Charleston, if he had ever had any dreams of eventually finding a sustaining love and true partnership and the deepest mutual affection that comes from a rock-solid marriage, he would give anything to have the kind of loving, supportive relationship that these two couples have.
I still have this picture in my head of my friend Kathleen's first dance with her brand new husband at their post-wedding reception. His skin is as dark as hers is pale. They're gazing at each other with a look of near-rapture that telegraphs "DAYUM, I found you! I can't believe I FINALLY found you!!!!" You can just see it in both their faces. I'm getting all warm and weak-kneed and watery-eyed just thinking about it. One of the coolest photos I have ever seen! I've known her for years. But I've never seen her as happy as she's been since he came into her life.
I've also noticed that same rapturous gaze in a number of same-sex couples who, thanks to the Supreme Court's latest ruling, are now able to marry whom they love, and as they choose, and as their hearts decree - in every state.
