May I use that last image for an icon???

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Please feel free :-) I have no idea if it'll reduce well to icon size, but go for it!

[beowabbit]

May I as well?

I hereby grant permission for you and anyone else to do whatever you want with these pictures, and will formalize that as soon as I figure out which Creative Commons license expresses that. :-)

Soooooooo wonderful...there's hope yet for all of us.

Isn't it though? God damn if we don't deserve some good news at this point.

And... YAY!!! *snif*

Yaaay! I'm so glad the spirit came through in the pictures. I'm not used to this!

Wow -- political justice AND cute boys!

It was totally a win-win-win moment on Beacon Hill today, let me tell you.

These are such glorious pictures. I just got in a few mintues ago and seeing these was the first I heard of the result. Thank you for sharing this joy with us all. I am speechless and in tears with relief.

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Awww, that's sweet! I'm so glad I could share. :-)

"It's wrong to vote on rights" was one of the rationales behind Brown v. Board of Education and the upholding of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, if I recall correctly.

Here via desdenova--this is the first I'd heard of the vote and I'm so glad. Thanks for the great pictures.

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad you liked them!

[slinkr.livejournal.com]

I was mostly just feeling relieved, until I saw these, and then I was actually happy. Thank you for sharing them.

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! That's one of the nicest things I've heard today!
