Tell Us: How Does the Supreme Court Decision Impact Your Life?

Gay marriage impacts parents, children, brothers, sisters, husbands and wives. Post a blog or tell us on our boards how it will affect you.

Gay marriage will soon be reinstated in California and recognized at the federal level, thanks to a pair of rulings from the Supreme Court Wednesday morning.

Locally, the response to the news has been overwhelmingly positive. On Facebook today, Patch readers used the words “elated” and “exultant” to describe their reaction to the court's decision to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act and revert to a lower court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage in California.

The new policy will affect children, parents, siblings, husbands and wives. How does marriage equality affect you? What impact does Wednesday's decision have on your life?

We’d like you to share your story on Patch. Post a blog or sound off on our boards to show us your perspective.
