Sadly, AK passed a constitutional amendment like 10 yrs ago. Sigh.
I'm still not convinced allergies, water shortages, cancer, crime, concrete and commuting are outweighed by the ability to get married.
It's hypocritical as a married woman to say so, but our legal system around marriage isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's still based on property, patriarchy and privilege - gay or no. I'm all for expanded critique on this institution.
But that in no way negates my happiness for the Court's ruling today!
