Yep. Gotcha.

Did you forget about DOMA Section 2, aka the legal justification for states to not recognize the same-sex marriages of the 13 states?

Only Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act was deemed unConstitutional.

Prop 8 would have also destroyed Section 3, so the case was not decided upon...it's why you had dissent from a couple of the liberal justices. They likely wanted to see gay marriage fully legalized in the US, but what ended up having was yet another compromise.

In the ramification of gay marriage as it stood before these rulings and how it stands now, you cannot view one without the other.

I view these just like the pre-Civil War compromises....we're just going to see tensions rise in the coming years.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
