This is the kind of thing that sends shivers up your spine. With those strikingly decisive yet beautiful words, Justice Kennedy has taken our breath away.<\/p>\n

Crowds were radiating joy, with cheers echoing throughout the streets. It was wonderful, it was groundbreaking, and best of all, it was another large step in the fight for equality.<\/p>\n
