In a country that claims to be the bastion of freedom, it is refreshing to see that the highest court in the land is willing to acknowledge an estimated 10% of the population. Everyone deserves freedom. Not just 90% of the population, everyone.
But just a note: the court's decision in the Prop 8 case was to dismiss it on procedural grounds. It's a slight victory for gay marriage, but not a major one then because the court essentially sidestepped the argument of whether or not marriage was a Constitutionally given right. Meanwhile, its decision in the DOMA case is actually a major win as it gives same-sex couples the same benefits as heterosexual couples.
The battle is won, but the war is not over!
