"Could June 26 someday officially be considered "Gay Day"?
The president had already declared June 2015 LGBT Pride Month,
and now, some are proposing a new federal holiday in the wake of Friday's Supreme Court ruling, which legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states. The decision came down on anniversary of two other Supreme Court rulings.
Two years ago, on June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, a federal law that forbade federal recognition of same-sex unions. That case, United States v. Windsor, kicked off the rapid expansion of same-sex marriage rights in states across the country, beginning a process that culminated in Friday's ruling.
And twelve years ago, on June 26, 2003, the court struck down so-called "sodomy" laws that banned gay sexual activity in Lawrence v. Texas.
And now, a number of Twitter users are calling for the establishment of a new national holiday, labeled "Gay Day." CBS

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:
for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:26,27
