One plaintiff points out that even if marriage equality is realized today, it's already too late for many people.

All plaintiffs emphasize just how shocked they were by the verdict. They entered the court building thinking there'd be another ruling calling the current state of affairs unconstitutional, but halfway into the ruling it became clear that wouldn't be the case today.

Other plaintiffs also talk about how shocked they were. One calls the ruling and the language it used discriminatory.

Today's ruling is part of a larger set of cases. A Supreme Court ruling on the matter is expected to take place either next year or the year after.

It *seems* that the court ruled the current state of affairs is constitutional. It's an exceptional ruling compared to what was previously ruled in other cases.

Several people were crying in the courtroom. The ruling came as a big surprise to everyone here, it seems.

Won the raffle! Going into the court now.

I just got my lottery ticket to enter the court (if I win in the raffle) and am now on court ground, so longer allowed to take photos.

The plaintiffs and legal team make their way to the court, greeted by a crowd of supporters.

A member of the crowd gathered in front of court is wearing a t-shirt referencing the 1993 March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation.

Absolutely!

The tiny balconies are such a quirky little detail. They really don't make buildings like this anymore.
