DOMA ruling quickens march toward marriage equality
Not even one month after the Supreme Court’s historic decision striking down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, the effects of the ruling are already proliferating as legal authorities throughout the country reinterpret laws to advance marriage rights for gay couples.
Almost like a domino effect, public officials and judges in Ohio, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Missouri this week alone have acted to advance marriage equality by drawing on the decision in Windsor v. United States as part of their reasoning.
Doug NeJaime, a gay law professor at the University of California, Davis, said this movement so soon after the Windsor ruling “was anticipated” given the language that Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy used in his opinion.
“Given the flurry of activity, and the quick decisions coming out of places like Ohio, this may mean that the Supreme Court may not be able to avoid the question regarding the constitutionality of state marriage bans as long as some of the justices may hope,” NeJaime said. “Clearly in Perry they were able to push the issue off for a bit, but it doesn’t seem they will be able to avoid the question for more than a few years at most.”

It's coming quicker then even most in the LGBT Community expected. 
= new reply since forum marked as read
will somebody please invite me to one of these? I haven't been to a wedding in years. 
But thats because my brothers keep divorcing & getting remarried.
Unfortunately I live where it is still illegal for same sex couples to marry. 
But I have been to a lot of commitment ceremonies.
It's time for me to get to work and stop reading DU for awhile.
