If You Are a Homosexual and Are Already Married:

If you had been lucky enough to live in a state that allowed gay marriage, the federal government already recognized your marriage as a thing, and you were eligible for tax, health, and pension benefits under federal law like any other married couple. Previously, if you had moved to another state that didn’t recognize gay marriage, that state didn’t have to recognize your marriage. Now, your marriage is recognized everywhere, the same as anyone else’s.

If You Are a Homosexual and Want to Get Married:

Where before this came down to whether or not your state had legalized it, now you are free to do so regardless of which state you live in.

If You Are a Heterosexual and Do NOT Want to Enter into a Homosexual Marriage:

You will not be required to marry a gay person. This is a common misunderstanding. This decision actually does not affect you in any way.

punkswithcleankitchens:

The most glaring problem with so-called traditionalism is that it’s not historically accurate. People have been having gay sex since forever. People have been having interracial sex since forever. So what tradition are you referring to exactly? Nationalism? That shit’s only been around for like 150 years and even then two nightmare wars later and people are weary as fuck of those kind of attitudes.

The idea that people in the past were morally pure is a pervasive myth. Do you know that humans were making mead before they were growing crops? Do you know that there’s a reason prostitution is called “the oldest profession”? Have you seen the dirty graffiti they sprawled on the walls in Pompeii?

Traditionalists are suffering from the fallacy of presentism, the belief that things around them that they don’t like are new and the things they do like have been around for a long long time. Unfortunate for them, history disagrees.

so i took my 16 year old brother to see mad max yesterday, and it’s all he can talk about, claiming it might be his favorite movie and can’t wait to see it again

some of the things he loved? (without being prompted by myself whatsoever)

he loved that in that world oppression clearly existed, especially for women, but women had a hand in overthrowing that system

he loved that the extent of the sexualization by the film makers (and not the clearly evil bad guy) was the women bathing fully clothed - he was a little worried at that point and looked at me in the theater wary of what might be coming, but was quickly relieved

he loved that Mad Max was made no lesser a man by working with Furiosa 

after he said all that on the way home, i asked him if he thought guys wouldn’t like it because the main character is a woman to which he replied “SHE’S A BADASS AND IF THEY DON’T LIKE IT THEY’RE MISSING OUT”

in short, i’m really proud of my brother
