A Great Day for the LGBT Community
Today the Supreme Court made history, in a 5-4 decision in both cases, by striking down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and upholding the Appeals Courts decision that Prop. 8 is unconstitutional.
It’ll be a matter of months before California will be the 13th state in the union to allow same sex marriage.
LOVE IS LOVE! EQUALITY FOR ALL!!!!
