She's right. My biggest concern is that gender and sexuality are not protected classes in the US, e.g. against employment discrimination. That needs to change.

she's right, I agree. That said, it's nice to take a moment and revel in the enormity of progress that just occurred. It's seriously amazing.

A major battle won in the war for equality.

Heh, yes, fixed. I'm an idiot.

    the enormity of progress that just occurred

Indeed. I wonder how this will compare in the history books to the Civil Rights Movement (Will they start calling it the Racial Civil Rights Movement?). The marches weren't as pronounced, or violent; the oppression was more institutional and less physical. I wonder which, if any, moments or speeches will be memorialised.
