When victories occur for the gay community its nice to pause and consider the implications. I am referring to the NY Court decision declaring DOMA unconstitutional. The difference with this decision is the fact that a federal judge appointed years ago by a conservative President, wrote basically the gay community has been and is being discriminated against. That this law discriminates against a segment of american society which has rights under the constitution. This is significant to for those of us who have the hope of one day being able to legally marry in this nation.
Will I see the day when same sex marriage is not rejected? I don't know, but I have a glimmer of hope. Of course if I ever find one I want to marry, we could go to a state, or nation where our marriage is accepted.
Sign me hopeful but realistic.
