I am crying so hard I can't breathe. This *just* happened.

Aaaaaand I thought I was done crying for the night. Thank you.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it.

[gaaak.livejournal.com]

Thank you for sharing this. This is something that I don't think I'll ever see happen in my country, but this fills me with so much warmth and joy. ♥♥♥

Where do you live?

I'm in Singapore. Where we have Section 377A of the Penal Code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_377A_of_the_Penal_Code_(Singapore)), that expressly "criminalises sex between mutually consenting adult men". We aren't allowed to have Pride parades, but I'm heartened that attendance has grown over the past 3 years at Pink (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Dot_SG) Dot (http://pinkdotsg.blogspot.com/).

I'm hoping to see Section 377A repealed one day...but same-sex marriage? Not in this lifetime.

Sadly, it seems the Empire State Building photo is from November, and it was for Furthr:

But it's still a glorious night.

Well, that sucks. I assumed that it was already prepped to go rainbow for the parade on Sunday, and they just lit it early.

I'll edit the text, but I'm leaving the damned photo. Symbolism outweighs context in this instance. :)

I know! I was like, "YAYAYAYAYA...oh, poo." But maybe they'll have something even better for Sunday!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Actually, it did just happen tonight.

[ginamak.livejournal.com]

LOL they never changed the lights after Furthr.

AWESOME. \o/

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

:D - they have a massive number of sockets and light bars; they can change "themes" by throwing a few switches, basically.

Whichever way, I ADORE THAT PHOTO, OMG.

[raincitygirl.livejournal.com]

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty much stuck on yay.

I am beaming and wiping away tears and beaming some more.

Today is a good day.

Finally getting on the right side of history.

10-15 years from now I swear this will be such a non-issue and kids growing up then will be like "Why was it ever illegal? Why was it even a question?"
