If anything, I think that the sun is shining just that much brighter.

But as you mentioned, the regressives should be relived it's over, even if they don't know it. It ought to eliminate marriage as a political issue.

Of course, that means Rick Santorum's chances just went from 0.7% to 0.2%. Oh to be a fly on the wall in his filthy cave.

Indeed.

Although I suspect many 2016 wannabees are relieved.

Actually no I don't. As I said. I am glad the constant whining can now come to an end and the countries attention can move to more pressing issues of more significance.

It won't, though. The significant issues are too boring for our ADHD nation. The media will find something else to attach to (likely pot) and we'll focus on that instead of things that we actually need to focus on.

Hasn't affected mine either, nor will it. My wife and I will be just fine.

I'm guessing that the Man upstairs has more pressing matters. If anything, I'm more worried about that from our politicians and what they're doing to the country, than what 2 consenting adults do in their bedrooms or if they want to spend their lives together.

Since when have civil rights ever been granted to a disenfranchised group without "whining"? Gay people have gone from being incarcerated in prisons and mental institutions to being considered equal citizens because of protests, discussions and public education campaigns.

I suppose if you were arrested for being caught making out with whomever you love, went to jail and lost your job--and then complained about it the you'd be "whining"?

Uhh...this is pretty significant. SCOTUS just invalidated a lot of constitutionally-enshrined bigotry and hatred. That doesn't happen everyday.
