On Wednesday, 6 and 1 month after marrying the love of her life, the Supreme Court made its final ruling on Edith Windsor’s landmark case against Defense Of Marriage Act. The plaintiff has already spoke to the media several times today about her feelings regarding the decision. Obviously, she’s was overwhelmed with joy. It was obvious in her press conference, during which she showcased her charm. Here are all the photos of her throughout the day.
The most famous photo is from this morning, when she first heard of the ruling.
And then Edith made her first public appearance when she held a press conference.
She lit up when the crowd received her.
And couldn’t hide her joy from behind the podium.
What a glorious day for the whole gay community and an even more beautiful day for one person in particular.
Edith met Christine Quinn with a huge at a rally outside Stonewall.

I’d be happy, too, if I were getting a $363,053 tax refund.

@yaoming: Amazing how conservatives flip flop. First they don’t want more taxes, then they want committed same sex adults to pay more in taxes. My brain is really hurting just trying to understand it. I guess it’s only the wealthy they want tax cuts for. I have no problem with someone who wants to make alot of money. I just have a problem with someone who wants ALL the money.

If the History of Gay America is ever written, her beautiful mug should be on the cover.
