EDITORIAL: The Supreme Court’s decision deserves a wedding ring

Last week’s announcement by the Supreme Court that same-sex marriages will be acknowledged country-wide, certainly sparked high-fives, rainbow-colored facebook profiles, and bitter denouncement (along with countless essays about the rules of marriage). Here at the Weekly, we are not schooled in what is apparently a gazillion views on the rules of marriage, but  what we can do is help you out to see and analyze how this milestone ruling affects  you. So what are its implications?

If you are single:
— It doesn’t affect you. Don’t worry about it.

If you are already married:
— It doesn’t affect you. Don’t worry about it.

If you are married to a same-sex partner in Seattle:
— It doesn’t affect you. Don’t worry about it.

If you are married to a same-sex partner in a state that has already legalized same-sex marriage:
— It doesn’t affect you. Don’t worry about it.

If none of the above applies to you and you would like to be married to your partner:
— YOU CAN. Worry about proposing.

We are happy to give a champagne toast to all the newlyweds and already-wedded (same sex or not) out there. And a toast to the Supreme Court. This Supreme Court decision is truly worthy of celebration and a massive, nationwide, huge reception with the largest cake and dance floor ever.

Everyone  is invited. (end)
