The U.S. Supreme Court struck down DOMA today. We are still waiting to hear the ruling on Prop 8. I included a link to the ruling in this blog: SCOTUS Ruling on #DOMA It should be read - even if not entirely (It's 77 pages long, although only the first 4 pages contain a summary of the ruling by the court, the rest is the description of the suit and the full ruling and dissenting opinions.). This may be the most compelling part that I have read though:
"2. DOMA is unconstitutional as a deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment. Pp. 13–26."
