Pretty crazy to think how far America has come on this and related issues. America isn't so good at changing as soon as we should but we've made a lot of social progress in our short ~300 years.
The other day I was watching Eddie Murphy's "Delirious" special [0]. It's widely considered one of the best standup specials ever and it's Eddie in his prime. But he spends the first ~5 minutes just spewing anti-gay jokes. Not hateful stuff, but just saying over and over how he's scared of gay people, etc. And he was probably the biggest star in the country at the time and at the peak of his abilities as a comic. I don't think that would go too well now (even if it is comedy).
Anyway, congratulations to anyone who was previously unable to get married and can now do so. It's a real victory for the good guys.
