OMG! On October 6, 2014, in an unexpected non-decision, the Supreme Court denied cert in several marriage cases, immediately bringing equality to my home state of Virginia as well as Utah, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Indiana.

Arlington County held a presser with Virginia’s Attorney General, Mark Herring, and state and county elected officials.

County clerk Paul Ferguson announced that his office would begin issuing licenses immediately.

 It was amazing. It’s been a few weeks and couples have received licenses so I’m pretty sure I’m not dreaming.
