The court ruling and landmark certification come on the anniversary week of the 1969 riots at the Stonewall Inn that helped spur the modern LGBTQ movement.

The time of this ruling is amazing. It's been nearly 50 years since the riots at Stonewall Inn. I am so so proud. #LoveWins

Yup, this seems about right.

Between Stonewall Inn's landmarking and #SCOTUSMarriage, @NYCPride is going to be bananas this weekend.
