Gay marriage upheld in 5-4 Supreme Court ruling
/from Justice Anthony Kennedy’s opinion for the majority:
The nature of injustice is that we may not always see it in our own times. The generations that wrote and ratified the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment did not presume to know the extent of freedom in all of its dimensions, and so they entrusted to future generations a charter protecting the right of all persons to enjoy liberty as we learn its meaning.
Celebrate Marriage Equality!
We're celebrating Saturday, June 27, 6-8pm at 50 South Restaurant, Ballston Spa, just south of Saratoga Springs on Rt. 50. Read more here.
