History being made in Charlotte, North Carolina.
I got to witness history in the making. I popped by work around 7:30AM, and then went outside of the County and Courts Office Building (CCOB) to see lots of reporters, couples, family and friends of the supports, and a pair of trumbone players gathered. It was wonderful to see so much happiness waiting for the doors to open at 8:00AM.
Everyone filed in after 8:00AM. While in the Registration office I told a happy couple that I talked with that they were all their wedding photographers. One of them hugged me, thanked me, and said, "Yeah, and free. I'm sure there will be photos all over." I offered to take a photo for them, and I was given an old point and shoot camera. I congratulated them, then headed back to work.
The fellow on the left is the one who hugged me. I had taken a photo for them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBMHYGdIFNY

Does this mean north Carolina has finally legalized gay marriage? If yes, good for them. We in Canada legalized gay marriage at the national level half a decade ago, making gay marriage legal in all provinces and territories. I don't understand why Americans are only legalizing it one state at a time, instead of just taking it to the federal level.
Yup. As of Friday a bit before 6PM EDT.
The thing about it being legalized in the US is that even though it's been Federally recognized, the laws have to go through court proceedings to remove the bans. Usually this involves cases being presented to a court, and the court deeming it unconstitutional. Massachusetts in 2003 helped pave the way. It's an annoying paperwork thing, but it's how laws get changed.
As of today Scotland has overturned their ban. Things take time.
