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.

[End Times alert, folks.]
Yes, there are many signs we’re nearing the end of the Church Age. The Tribulation comes next.
[”I want you to know I’m a little nervous today ...” Cuomo joked]
Wonder if he had an out-of-body experience similar to Mitch McConnell’s the other day.
This America is not waking.
It woke up on 9/11, made it a few years, then rolled over and went back to sleep.
And turned over the country to whacked-out children, apparently.
Yes, I’m certain all the “Proud to Be Homosexual” (whatever the hell that means!) festivities around the country were especially “gay” (although the cost to our Constitution has not yet been realized ... and may not be for some time.)
The local news in the Chicago market was just beaming with pride about how many people attended the Chicago gay pride parade.
Footage was replete with heterosexual families and children attending the parade.
Exactly how was exposing one's minor children to the FREAK SHOW of the "gay pride parade" not child abuse?!
This country is beyond lost .... Jesus take the wheel and drive me home!
Well if that don’t just beat all. That may be the single most eyebleach-worthy photo I have ever saw.
GHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCKKKKK! Think of the eyeballs, man ;)
Proud of absolutely nothing other than the manner in which they have sex!
If faggies and their cause are the `wave of the future’, then count ME proud to be on the losing hetero side of history.
Someday though, the Lord of Hosts is going to mightily frustrate faggies and their obscene `victory’. It’s found in Revelation.
