It was one of those days where you'll always remember where you were and what you were doing when you got the news. I was at work doing my truck driving gig. I was driving up US 27 in Indiana when I turned on CNN on my satellite radio. There was a reporter at the historic scene of the Stonewall riots giving the news. A very excited man started yelling, "It's about fucking time!" over and over again on the air and they had to make an unplanned cut to a commercial.

Today I wept, then called my best friend......Go get your license.....I truly never thought I would be included as an American, I never thought this day would come in my lifetime. I was wrong....

I'll probably never forget this moment. My dogs actually started barking at my shout, lol.

(1,136 posts)I was on a work call. Bored out of my mind, opened facebook on my phone and saw the first post. There was no more paying attention to anything on the all while I read everything and looked at posts from all the happy people!

(14,691 posts)the IRS office, where I had to go to explain why I don't really owe what they said I did.
While waiting I kept checking the SCOTUS blog on my phone and realized I didn't really know what they were talking about at first. I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't know what SSM meant.
P.S.: I spent about 4 hours total waiting for 3 min. of facetime with a very nice IRS employee and my tax situation is now OK.
