Hello, I’m at a feminist conference, maybe you heard of it. The bad news? I haven’t slept more than, like, four hours in a night since Tuesday. The good news?

The Supreme Court Wants You to Recognize Gay Families, Full Stop
It’s official: Alabama must recognize the same-sex adoption of two women from Georgia, whether or not it would have been possible in their state in the first place.

In the concurring opinion, Moore also wrote about the supremacy of the U.S. Supreme Court decisions and that it is not absolute. “Everyone was waiting and watching for this case”, she said. The lesbian couple had raised the children from birth. Hopefully V.L.’s victory will do much to show that LGBT couples deserve the same parental rights, and that love is love in any and all capacities.
