Today in Buckhead (Georgia)

[Solly Mack]

[center]My cousin and his husband have been together 40 years. They got married 2 years ago in Vermont and reaffirmed their vows in their home state this morning. They're in the video and they both look so happy. I was thrilled for them and so happy to see them in the news, so all the world can share in their love.

I'm happy for your family (and human justice).

6. Oh, Solly Mack.

How beautiful and inspirational. I moved from the Atlanta area almost 20 years ago, but then Buckhead was the home of Atlanta's wealthiest, and it was a solidly republican area. How delicious to have this joyous celebration there!

I am so happy for your cousin and all the couples here who are now out of the darkness and into the light.

[Solly Mack]

8. They both sounded elated when I talked with them.

Thanks, brer cat!

There was food and drink from all over (neighboring states, as well) for everyone attending. It was just one huge celebration of love and diversity.

7. The South will rise again

The New South will take the place of ignorance and hate. Many areas of Atlanta are young, vibrant, enlightened places where rednecks would be the odd man out.

9. It's been a very emotional few days.

[Solly Mack]

10. It has.

[alfredo]

11. This is big. I've lived through two big expansions of freedom, but this

Time I'm mature and experienced enough to appreciate it. Of course this change wasn't as blood-soaked as the last.

[Solly Mack]

13. It really is big. It is such a huge step forward.

If you could have heard the elation in my cousin's voice. In both of their voices. Their happiness and excitement was bursting through the phone.

17. My sister in law has been waiting for a long time for this. She turned me into an advocate.

[Solly Mack]

20. That's awesome! I'm happy for her! (and you)

[alfredo]

24. Yeah, it has been wonderful seeing the change.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

12. 40 years!

Now that is truly something to celebrate. Imagine all the weddings that took place wherever are now legal everywhere. A happy day for you too, Solly Mack.

[Solly Mack]

14. I'm happy for them! (and for everyone)

I was around 11 when my cousin's husband came into my life. He was immediately family. He always been.

Thanks, Iwillnevergiveup.

15. Thank you for the video link.

My pastor discussed it yesterday. It was an awesome sermon. About how the central church hasn't changed yet. But God knows this is happening, and it isn't up to us to represent God's opinion on the matter. And as I watch them on that video, what I felt as happiness for others became elation and joy. And I can't help but think God is pleased that the legal bigotry has ended and Love has won over hate and fear.
It's Monday morning and I'm still married (over 20 years).

[Solly Mack]

21. You're welcome, Ilsa. Thank you.
