On my way home from work, I noticed more rainbow flags than normal here in Hillcrest. I figured it was gearing up for Pride weekend which is in just a few more weeks

Agreed. I wish we could knock out prejudices as easily as a court decision. The way I see it, if some states don't like it, they are more than welcome to move out of the US and start their own country. lol.
We were married in 2014 in New Mexico, but living here in Carrollton, Texas our marriage was not recognized in our own home. There's something that feels almost defiling about that. Like, the government is reaching into our beautiful home and telling us that what we have is not real, not ok.
It is such a great feeling to know that my marriage is now legal. It has dawned on me several times today. Like a wave of good feeling.
I just have to leave a comment to your comment you left for because: Like, the government is reaching into our beautiful home and telling us that what we have is not real, not ok. This is exactly how I had been feeling living in Georgia with my partner Tom since we moved here. (We got married in California back when we were living there in 2013.) We came to Georgia and I had two identities because Georgia wouldn't recognize my last name, which I hyphenated when I got married. They were like, "We don't recognize same-sex marriages so we can't recognize your hyphenated last name." It was like, "Lovely. I now have two identities."
But not anymore. One big, long hyphenated last name for me now. No more two identities.
