Congratulations and thank you... [View all]

...to everyone who has played a role in making marriage equality the law of the land.

Years, decades, whole lifetimes spent ushering in this day. Actions and deeds large and small... all of it mattered. All of it added up and up and up every day, even when it seemed like it didn't.

Even when it seemed like your own peers were at best indifferent, at worst outright hostile.

You kept at it, no matter what, and now the day has finally come. Well done. You did it. You built this!



Celebrate, and savor it, because this is what accomplishment feels like. And hang on to that feeling. It will be a powerful fuel as we recommit ourselves to the work that still needs doing.
