Today, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional. They also ruled that the parties challenging in favor of Proposition 8 had no standing - essentially upholding same-sex marriage in California.
A very good day for equal protection and equal rights. The fact that I happen to work at the ACLU today makes it all the more strange and fantastic for me. Sometimes, the good guys win.
