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.

I know our president is, but.. WHY ALL THE FUSS? The media makes it seem as though EVERYONE is GAY!!!!!
The media is the enemy. THEY are. We need to figure out a way to STARVE THE BEAST AND THEIR FALSE REALITY.
Yeah, sure. Americans celebrating equating two homo pervs who get off on writhing around in their own feces as the same as a husband-and-wife entering into holy matrimony?
Only worthless degenerates would buy into this. Degenerates who aren’t fit to even breath American air or walk on American soil. The kind of degenerates who control our media and our government.
Gay Pride Week in SF is now billed as a family affair. Incredible.
Misleading headline. You beat me to it.
Sorry I can’t rejoice. I don’t fancy the idea of playing in another man’s butthole.
I’m in rural foothills of NC mountains, so yeah, I missed it too.
A small loud mouthed minority of Americans who define themselves solely by their unnatural sexual practices and outside of that are nothing are rejoicing. The rest of us have reactions ranging from indifference to disgust. The sin that could not be mentioned has changed to the sin that will never shut up.
My ass is exit only.
Try not to use the misnomer “gay”. They have corrupted enough. It reminds me of they Bible verse, they call evil good and good evil
But we have already seen the next trend start, the prosecution of Christians for refusal to condone or take part in perversity.
That would make a good tag line.
And the demand for the legalization of man-boy marriage, of course...
Happy HIV day!
Reporter sneaking one over on the editor?
Their sexual practices are beside the point,
the usurpation of the First Amendment in
the State dictating religious practice is the Issue.
A CLEAR violation, it must not be allowed to stand
or we see everything swept way.
The answer is an intense pounding PITA. What is the question?
America is an idea NOT predicated upon sodomy, thug government, and arrogance. These are no Americans, they are the tares among the wheat. An enemy hath done this.
>>>A person in whom there is arrogance will ultimately be diminished.... “They will wither like the tops of the ears of grain” (Job 24:24)..... It is like the man who enters his field and picks the tall ones. (Sotah 5a)
A father and son were walking through a field of golden wheat at harvest time. “Father” said the boy, “why do some of the stalks stand tall and straight, while others bend their heads?”
“The bent stalks” replied the father, “are full of ripe, healthy kernels, the weight pulls them down. They are like humble people full of wisdom and good deeds. The stalks that hold their heads high are empty, like worthless people who act superior.”
Our Gemara, too, likens the arrogant to tall stalks of grain. A farmer walking through a field of full, bent stalks will uproot and discard any tall, empty ones so that they will not be harvested together with the rest.<<<
Matthew 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Is this a jeopardy type answer.
What is....
