BREMERTON—The U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide today in a landmark 5-4 decision.

Honor Bar in Bremerton near Evergreen Park is celebrating at 7 p.m., according to their Facebook page, and the first glass of Pride Punch is on them.

Kitsap Pride Network released a statement saying it’s “thrilled” with the decision.

“Many in our organization and community have worked tirelessly for equality,” the release said. “We still have work to do to live up to the promise that all of us are created equal.”

“Today it is no longer a same-sex marriage but simply marriage,” said Michael Goodnow, president of Kitsap Pride Network.

Ashleigh Barraza was ecstatic when she found out this morning.

“We’re finally equal and that’s freaking awesome,” Barraza said

About two and a half years ago, her wife Liz, a corpsman in the Navy, had the choice of being stationed in Japan or Bremerton. If Liz chose Japan, Barraza wouldn’t be able to come with, so they came to Bremerton.

It worked out well for them. Not only was same-sex marriage legal in Washington, but adoption equality was too. About a year ago they started fostering kids and have since had 9 come through their doors and July 7 they’re adopting two boys, ages 7 and 3.

She’s thankful that her boys will grow up in a world where same-sex marriage is accepted and protected by law — a far cry from the one she and Liz grew up in.

“This is their normal and they’re protected in their normal,” Barraza said. “We’re going to be able to tell our kids there was a time when gay people couldn’t be married to each other.”
