We're so happy to wake up to the awesome news that the Supreme Court has passed the law on gay marriage across US. We get dressed having watched Obamas speech (we love him) and head to the court steps - the atmosphere is electric!!

On one side you have the happy LGBT community with signs saying "I'm not gay, I'm ecstatic", rainbow flags galore and tv crews all in one corner getting caked in makeup. On the other side we have some very angry Christian folk still waving their placards basically stating their disgust at the prospect of gay marriage and how the gay communities will burn in hell. We walk upon a full-scale argument between a representative from each side, as much as everyone's entitled to their opinions why not just move on and let the LGBT community enjoy this victory - it's not like anything can be done now eh, have some pride. Pardon the pun.

Speaking of pride, we're buzzing and decide to trade our cultural day of visiting the unknown soldiers tomb and Arlington cemetery for gay bars and beer - I know, we're rubbish. But this is an event we couldn't miss out on!

We head to the DuPont circle where the gay community supposedly is but discover it's more residential and are advised to head to U street - you have to go here!!! It's awesome - as we walk down the street you can hear loud music and high pitched chatter, there's a big balcony of rainbow flags overlooking the street absolutely packed full - the celebrations are in full swing.

Now, it gets a bit blurry at one point but the night sort of goes like this:

1. We meet and hang out with a group of pretty mature gay men (6 in total ranging from 40 - 65)

2. We end up in a club with said gay men

3. The famous "Gay Men's Chorus" who sang on TV at the Supreme Court turn up

4. Later a drunk Matthew gets up and joins the chorus singing along - he doesn't know the words so mimes - it is hilariously bad miming but his face is a picture - he's loving it and fits in so well!?

5. One of the gay couples in our company tells Jacq a bit too much about their personal life. One of them likes to wear nappies - just for hugs and spanks, the other is clearly the Daddy, a drunk Jacq is in hysterics but relieved to know toilet habits are not included in this practice

6. Matt is likened to Beyoncé (ask us later)

7. We get in a cab and hop out $20 later at the opposite end of town - a Cruella de Ville lookalike cabbie doesn't actually know the city and completely cons us

8. $20 again and were home - we've had the funniest, most amazing day and Matts a very popular boy! ;) VERY popular...
