The number of states where same sex marriage is legal is about to jump from 19 to 30.

From The New York Times:

“In a move that may signal the inevitability of a nationwide right to same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court on Monday let stand appeals court rulings allowing such unions in five states.

The development, a major surprise, cleared the way for same-sex marriages in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin. Officials in Virginia announced that marriages would start at 1 p.m. on Monday.”

Perhaps no other social justice issue has moved away from the cobwebs of our repressive past, sheading off the Pat Roberston-esque world view like dead skin cells to reveal the potential for a fresh, glistening a future of equanimity and justice quicker than the issue of gay rights. It may be wise for those of us in the in the interconnected struggle(s) for climate justice, racial justice, and everyone trying to push the boot of neoliberalism off of our jugular should consult with Dan Savage for an It gets better campaign.
