equal marriage is now legal in all 50 US states! that's such a huge step! congratulations to all my lgbtq+ american friends! i remember how happy i felt when my country legalised equal marriage last year. go celebrate! this also has major positive implications for the world. you know the saying "when america sneezes the world catches a cold"? it has such a world influence- and this time it can be used for good.

if you think this isn't something big or just pointless then this quote is very relevant:
"It's worth remembering why marriage equality became so vital: it was during the AIDS crisis. Insurance. Hospital visitation. Inheritance."

we still have so far to go as a global equal rights movement. we're making good steps. we need to use this as a platform to keep on going!
