Four principles
How this shapes society
- more accepting, open to change
- the way we see marriage and love has changed and strengthened overtime
my opinion:
I agree with Supreme Court's decision 100% because I believe It's wrong to restrict people from marrying-fundamental right.

- reversed it
- apply for Writ of Certiorari (bring case to higher court)
- January 16,2015
