Historic Day For Gay Rights

While I had something else planned for today's post, it got postponed because of this historic day at the Supreme Court.  In a pair of landmark rulings, the Supreme Court struck down DOMA, giving married gay couples access to federal benefits — and declined to rule on Prop 8, paving the way for same-sex couples to wed again in California.
