So, how many other DUers are hung over this morning after a night of celebrating?
I went out about 11pm. Just about an hour later than normal for the gay community 
We, unlike the straight community, kiss and hug each other as a regular greeting. Sometimes I forget myself and give a coworker or friend a hug and/or kiss. They're used to it now.
But last night was just so filled with love. Love everywhere! Tears, cheers, singing, dancing, etc. Ended up at my favorite, lucky bar, The Closest. The oldest lesbian bar in Chicago. Though just like so many places, it's usually filled with men. (Those gay guys just love to take over the bars 
)
After some shots of Patron and a tequila sunrise or two last night, I'm surprised I am even awake.
How many of you celebrated?

I hope you will all be very happy!
As funny as that is, in all seriousness, one of the best things that will come out of this is no one can stop a spouse from visiting in the hospital ever again. That humiliating, horrible part of inequality for same sex couples is forever GONE!
but I did have several large chunks of cake.
That sounds like a great idea for tonight. Not right now.
Have to get up early for the parade tomorrow!
That's a tough one! I don't drink wine. That's one of the reasons.
Feel better!
I never heard that before. Thanks for posting
Don't get too drunk tonight. You want to be able to make it to the Parade Sunday! They're all going to be absolutely off the hook!
so I am guilty of playing on Facebook with the other invalids/introverts Rainbow profiles, rec'ing all the good articles, so happy for friends who now have the legal rights they deserve.
Here in TX the history legally is as follows: In 1997, Texas banned the issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Additional legislation in 2003 forbade the recognition of any same-sex marriages or civil unions. In 2005, voters approved a referendum that added those restrictions to the Texas Constitution.
Had a good friend here in Houston decide to move to San Fran in 2005 after that referendum. The bigotry has been mind-numbing and I am so glad we can now just say "marriage" and remove all the qualifiers.
I'm sorry that you couldn't go outside to play but yay for you spreading the joy!
I'm sorry about your friend. Now, if they want, they can come home.
Texas will adjust. It's already happening in parts.
Had a few drinkies, no hangover. But today all bets are off. It is my 67th birthday.

Skäl!

Where are my LGBT people?
Maybe still sleeping it off
Just ... a whole lot later
Thanks! Hope you have a great day!
HAPPY PRIDE!
Sounds like a great time! What a beautiful view.
I can't wait to see the Castro. Moving in August
We'll have to get together!
Have a blast!
How wonderful! I hope you had a blast!
Now that is a great celebration! I would get chocolate cake but to each his own
I used to not have to watch my weight. Then I got old.
I used to be. But that was a long time ago.
Very good! Maybe I will have a chocolate martini!
Yes, so happy! !!!!
That's a great way to celebrate! Any way at all is a good way to celebrate!
Saving up for the Chicago parade. I'm only a few blocks from Broadway. Tomorrow is going to be bananas!! 
Where will you be? I'm so excited! !!!
I think I'll be near the corner where the parade turns from Diversey to Broadway. One of my friends is near there. We brought a couch last year! It might be making another appearance! I probably won't be able to speak after. 
The only time I have been that far toward the end was when I was in the parade. That was a blast all by itself. It was 2013 and we rode with Equality Illinois. What fun since it was one of the most applauded floats
Have a great day!
That's great. That's because yesterday was all good stuff. Even the funeral, as horrible as it was, united people
Two friends' jewelry, one straight one gay. Got my photo taken with both of them. It was a great night. Everyone at the gallery was talking about this past week. Amazing. Glad you had a great time last night marym625!
I am glad you had fun as well!
Tomorrow is the big day! Have to get some sleep!
:hug;
Thanks for sharing! Someone at the Onion plans the same thing we all do for tomorrow
Off the fucking hook!
It was an uplifting night all the way around, and when talking to assorted friends and cohorts, i would randomly get all teary-eyed, and they'd think there was something wrong...
Nope...
Just my awkward, dykey, dorky teenaged-self peeking out with utter astonishment and disbelief at the progress LGBT people like me have made in this long, deliberate march toward equality.
This was not the last battle... but damn it, this was a BIG one.
Awesome! That's some great strawberry shortcake!
HAPPY PRIDE!
Marta hasn't let me drink since I was diagnosed a year and 1/2 ago.
HAPPY MARRIAGE EQUALITY PRIDE DAY!
