Americans exude joy on Gay Pride Day after court ruling

Americans marked Gay Pride Day this year with an extra measure of gusto, turning out en masse at Sunday's festivities in New York and other cities to celebrate the Supreme Court's landmark ruling legalizing same-sex marriage across the country.

Two days after the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the U.S. Constitution provides same-sex couples the right to marry, Governor Andrew Cuomo kicked off the New York City celebration by officiating at the marriage of two men outside of the Stonewall Inn, a Greenwich Village bar that is considered the birthplace of the U.S. gay rights movement.

"I want you to know I'm a little nervous today - it's my first marriage," Cuomo joked before marrying a couple in front of a crowd of several dozen onlookers.

Earlier this month, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission granted official landmark status to the Stonewall, site of a June 1969 riot that galvanized the then-incipient gay rights movement.

After Sunday's ceremony, one of the men called Cuomo an "LGBT hero" and said the experience was "a dream come true."

Tens of thousands of people attended pride parades in Chicago, San Francisco and Minneapolis, culminating a weekend of festivities in those cities. The events and parades mark the 46th anniversary of a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, setting off protests widely credited with the start of the U.S. gay rights movement.

The court ruled on Friday that the Constitution's guarantees of due process and equal protection under the law mean that states cannot ban marriages between two men or two women. With the landmark ruling, marriage becomes legal for all people in all 50 states.

Several years ago, when the liberal bedwetters criticized the show “Sara Palin’s Alaska” Someone put out a photo essay “Nancy Peloi’s San Francisco.” I seem to remember something like what you described in the photo essay.

One can with some assurance predict that Obama’s
last State of the Union will see him laud the court
for their brave and correct decisions in this session.

What is the first symptom of AIDS?

What are flu like symptoms or sometimes no symptoms at all.

What is the first symptom of AIDS is the question to the PITA answer.

Along with being a bitter clinger, I also plead guilty to making bad jokes.

What kind of parent would bring their children to Gay Pride!!? Liberal Frisco parents, that’s who. Disgusting!

In Orlando when Disney World does Gay Pride Day or Week or whatever, the local AM talk shows warn their listeners not to go there while it’s overrun with flamboyant faggies. And if the host is speaking Spanish or English with an Hispanic accent, the warnings against keeping the kids from seeing all the maricones are especially vehement.

End Times alert, folks.

For a large number of Americans “gay pride” (homosexual conceit) exudes nausea.
