It has not been even a week since the Supreme Court has passed this ruling, five days and three working days to be exact. Today, my colleagues and I received an email from our Human Resources office indicating those who are in same-sex marriages, can now add their spouses and children to their health insurance policy, that they can benefit from other benefits for child care, retirement, etc just as any other spouse or child of a family would. I was proud of seeing the power of law and democracy in action and how quickly a new law gets implemented. For me, seeing that email was historic for the reasons I mentioned and more; among them for the respect the people have for the law. I am sure there are many religious people not happy with this ruling. But once the case has gone through all the steps of a justice system, once the game is over, they accept the verdict. If they do not, they revisit the case in the court of law not in streets with destructions, bullets, and chaos. Today, I was proud of America and Americans.
