D: Meatball you should know better! No necroposting! Better to just make a new thread if it's been months since the last reply, even if they're similar topics.

Anyway, thanks for posting that link. It has a PDF of the decision which I want to read at some point.

A great victory for civil rights. As much against state intervention of marriage as I am, if the state is going to affirm marriage at all, it must do it between all consenting individuals.

Any decision which pisses off mormons is a good thing.

I just hope this means we can finally progress towards marriage for all, one day surely right? Keep fighting the good fight, fist pump, power to the people.

Don't expect the bible-thumpers to give up without a fight.

Remember, they have 4 class-A shitheads on the Supreme Court as a voting bloc. They only need one more.

*nods* Kagan will be in there by the time this gets there, and I can't be sure if she'll be a liberal leaning judge. If she is, it will likely come down to Anthony Kennedy.

Edit: Listening to Rachel maddow and apparently Judge Walker quoted Kennedy in his judgment and Anthony Kennedy has historical voted for gay people. So I can see a Supreme court decision going 5-4, with Kennedy, Sotomayor, Breyers, Ginsberg, and Kagan voting for gay marriage, which would effectively have implications for federal marriage.

This is wonderful news! I hope the rest of the country follows suit.

That's certainly something I dearly wish for. I just have no idea how the Supreme Court would vote, it's a very divided one.

This is a wonderful win for civil rights everywhere. No longer will another group of people be treated as though they are less than people for being who they are, at least in this one respect if nothing else.

Truely a monumentous decision. I'm confident that the supreme court will vote in this manner as well, I just hope they don't prove me wrong.
