Historic, beautiful moment here today, folks. Absolutely overwhelmed. <3

The only way it can be stopped is for the DUP and Sinn Fein to return to government in Stormont - you know, the thing they've refused to do for the last two and a half years. And even if the DUP were to pettily go back for a week just to thwart this progress, they can't do that unless Sinn Fein also go back. And I don't think Sinn Fein are about to let them do that.
For the first time in my life, I'm an honest-to-god real human being with more legal rights than a bundle of cells. Everyone I know can get married. And it feels pretty damn good.
