I must say I am so proud that our supreme court made the decision to allow gay marriage to be legal in all 50 states. That is truly a milestone. One thing that bothers me though it how the media is treating that decision as a priority over reasons we have such freedom in the first place.

It has become a viral thing for members of social media to have a rainbow effect covering their profile picture, and even the White House has a rainbow effect shinning on the facade with lights.

Seems to me that the service members that die everyday for our freedom to even allow such a milestone is less often mentioned in the media.

We need to focus more on the ones who give their lives for such freedoms as a priority over the issue itself. Thank you.
