As a person who's worked in archiving I'm more interested in how, ten years from now, this event will be remembered.
I wonder if all of the Facebook disagreements I've seen will come back to haunt the posters.
Will a comment, made in the heat of anger, come back as a proof of being intolerant or discriminatory? Will those comments be used against the posters? Will we even care?
I do think the visuals from today will get more play in the media because they are more dynamic in content. An image of a crowded restaurant is at best a ho-hum photograph when compared to the exchange of a kiss between two same-sex individuals. It will be interesting to see how the story plays out in the news media.
