Ruling finally came down 2 hours ago and I am incredibly happy to know that
all of my friends now have the same right to marry that I do.

The best part, however, was the wording in the decision from Judge McShane.
Some truly beautiful words:

"My decision will not be the final word on this subject, but on this issue
of marriage I am struck more by our similarities than our differences. I
believe that if we can look for a moment past gender and sexuality, we can
see in these plaintiffs nothing more or less than our own families.
Families who we would expect our Constitution to protect, if not exalt, in
equal measure.

With discernment we see not shadows lurking in closets or the stereotypes
of what was once believed; rather, we see families committed to the common
purpose of love, devotion, and service to the greater community.

Where will this all lead? I know that many suggest we are going down a
slippery slope that will have no moral boundaries. To those who truly
harbor such fears, I can only say this: Let us look less to the sky to see
what might fall; rather, let us look to each other ... and rise."

Brilliant.
