Same sex court decision keeps comic book store closed - for a good reason
When the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage on Friday, it kicked off a Pride party that reached across the country. It also meant one store stayed closed a little longer than usual.
On Friday morning, just before the decision was announced, Red Pegasus Game and Comics in Dallas tweeted a picture of the sandwich board in front of its store. The owners said if the decision came down in favor of allowing same-sex marriage, they’d be late to open - because they were going to go get married first.
We'll be opening a little lay today, but we'll keep you updated #SCOTUSMarriage pic.twitter.com/GIqmfT2PF0

We’d imagine they’re not the only ones flocking to get married; the Supreme Court decision struck down anti same-sex marriage laws in 14 states and cleared the slate for a lot of long-awaited nuptuals.
