Defense of Marriage Act
One one hand I feel as if people are overestimating the impact that the overturning of the Defense of Marriage Act will have. While yes it is rather important and represents a large step forward when it comes to GBLT rights, it also only represents a relatively small drop in the bucket when it comes to equality. Except we're dealing more with an Olympic swimming pool rather than a bucket.The verdict was a bit too narrow for my tastes, but then again anything short of completely legalizing marriage of all sorts would have been in my eyes. I feel it to be difficult to get too excited, knowing that many more harder battles lie ahead of us.
On the other hand, there's still that optimistic side of me that is acting like this while my inner pessimist scowls in a corner.
Tomato tomato.
