Supreme Court marriage equality decision

In a 5-4 result, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down the nation's gay marriage bans, under the Obergefell v. Hodges case:


My response to this? Good. No one has anything to fear from same-sex marriage: the rights of a few groups of people have been expanded while everyone else's existing rights remain the same. No losses have been incurred; only gains. As a result, the world is a more equal place than it was yesterday; there is still more work to go, of course, but this ruling is a major victory for equal rights.
