#LoveWins

History was made in the United States Friday when the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage across the US in a 5-4 vote. Many couples and families {including some of my best friends!} lives will be forever changed by this decision with an impact hard to describe besides the trending words – #lovewins.

This heartwarming quote brought tears to my eyes:

No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.
