High court ruling gives a joyful jolt to Mpls. Pride celebration

It was a day to celebrate love.

For T.J. Danielson, it was marking a day he thought would never happen in his lifetime. To Jane Reisman, it was honoring how her mom’s attitude toward her being a lesbian was completely turned around. To Tim Wells, it was embracing the bittersweet difficulties of coming of age as a gay person in the 1980s. And to Al Lewis, it was attending his first gay pride event since coming out to his Lutheran congregation.

They were there among thousands — possibly hundreds of thousands — of marchers and observers, lovers and friends and supporters. Many donned their finest rainbow garb for Sunday’s Twin Cities Pride Parade, which drew a boisterous sea of revelers cheering “Love wins!” to the streets of downtown Minneapolis two days after the U.S. Supreme Court’s breakthrough same-sex marriage decision.
