On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court declared that same-sex marriage would be made legal in all fifty states. Whether or not I personally support same-sex relationships, the fact that there were restrictions on a person's free will to marry the person of their choice was disappointing. This isn't the only policy change that made me proud to be an American (of course the legalization of marijuana in several states would also be on that list), but it reminds me of the moment when America took a giant leap forward. It became one of fifteen other countries that decided it was an individual citizen's choice and had no reason to be legally restricted. That day American citizens became a little more “free” and that made me proud to be part of it
