Regardless of whether you believe in marriage, people should have the right to choose. LGBTQ people now have the same right to choose to get married and the right to choose not to get married as they so desire. Yes, this decision has many legal ramifications and we can and should continue to critique the institution of marriage... but today the work of so many people has led to a landmark decision that is going to change the lives of many others. This is something to celebrate!
