Watch My Family React to the SCOTUS Ruling — and Start Planning a Wedding

This is a day that I have waited for, and my moms have waited for, our entire lives. We have always felt like a family, but now we know that when my moms get married in March, on the 21st anniversary of their engagement, that the country will finally recognize us as a family and give validity to the love that we have always known. I’m very proud to be an American today.

We’ve already started planning the wedding. We have Pinterest Maid of Honor boards, bridal boards, and possible venues. We have the Reverends picked out. It’s going to be a pretty traditional wedding in a lot of ways, and we’re going to have the biggest party ever because we’ve been waiting for it for two decades.

Today I’m all about celebrating; tomorrow I’m getting back to work. I want make sure we have nondiscrimination laws in Kentucky. Now, my parents could get married and be fired from their jobs the next day. I also want to work to make sure there are fair adoption laws for all same-sex couples. More immediately, I’m watching to make sure all states are rolling out the marriage laws as they should. I have faith that my state will make me proud. We’re already watching the first legal gay marriage in Kentucky today. I can’t wait until it’s my moms’ turn.
