Pride parades supercharged by court ruling on marriage
Charisse Jones and Aamer Madhani (USA Today)
Historic. Emotional. Magical. Epic.
Those were of some of the superlatives offered as revelers nationwide marched Sunday in gay pride parades supercharged by the historic Supreme Court ruling extending marriage rights to same-sex couples in all 50 states.
In New York, Carina Ramirez, 21, a student who lives in the Bronx, has been to other gay pride parades, but none matched this moment.
"It does feel different, she said. "I feel people are going to go harder today because of the decision, even if it's raining."

Obama calls Supreme Court gay-marriage ruling ‘a victory for America’
Paul Koring (The Globe and Mail)
Same-sex couples have a Constitutional right to marry, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday, ending decades of emotional and divisive wrangling over gay rights and echoing a transformational shift in American public attitudes.

Two major Supreme Court rulings have reshuffled the GOP presidential primary, shooting domestic and social issues to the top of the debate and leaving the candidates to grapple with an increasingly liberal general electorate.
The rulings in favor of Obamacare subsidies and same-sex marriage sparked a flurry of responses from the White House hopefuls that ranged from forthright anger to carefully crafted messages of acceptance, providing some insight into the strategies the crowded field plans to employ on the campaign trail.
