At some point next week the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) will hand down its decisions on the Defence of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California Proposition 8.
It’s possible it could happen on Monday, June 24th, but my guess is it will be on June 26th or 27th. That is, the day of or the day after the 25th anniversary of the day I met–the day I fell in love with–Kelley.
It’s my belief that by June 28th any marriage of one women to another, or man to another, will be eligible for all the federal rights and privileges pertaining to heterosexual married couples. For why, and what this means exactly, see previous posts on marriage equality and the Supreme Court.
I know my silver anniversary will be a happy one. But I’m sincerely hoping it will be a fabulously happy one.
How about you?

I'm with you. I think DOMA (section 3) will go down next week. I'm betting a sparkling rainbow unicorn on it!
Happy anniversary. 25 years of love. Wow. Just wow. Wishing you many, many more to come.
Yep. As we say in our house: rainbow planet sparkle ponies!
Again, congrats to you both.
RE SCOTUS: I fervently hope so! It will give some substance to the 4th of July holiday. (Other than your and Kelley's appearance at Westercon of course which is plenty reason to celebrate).
Congratulations. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Sooner is better.
Thank you!
