If people listen to the news, they've heard the Supreme Court of the United States voted to accept gay marriage across the entire country last Friday. It's a significant milestone for gays, for sure. I hope the religious exemptions are going to continue to remain in place, for churches or ministers who wish to opt out of performing ceremonies for conscientious reasons.
The Chief Justice at the Supreme Court on Friday was accepting the decision but wasn't happy about it. It was a vote of 5 lawyers out of a total of 9.--A 5-4 decision. And there have been rumblings of opposition from other places in the USA.... Even in Canada, where gay marriage became legal 10 years ago, there has still been some prejudice against it and against gay couples.... I think some people need to have more knowledge and information about gay issues....
