This is a little OT, but how awesome would it be if a federal judge ruled within the next few days or so that Louisiana's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional? I would love to see that homophobe Phil Racistson get owned by Lady Liberty. Chances are though, they would just scurry on out of the state and move to Arkansas or something.
And I'm so happy for those Utah couples!
Since only 28% of Utahns actually support same-sex marriage, I think this will hurt the Democrats unfortunately for now, but being able to fulfill what seemed like impossible hopes and dreams for those same-sex couples and this country at large beats out state politics anyways. I wonder if this might influence Matheson though to shortly in the future come out in support of it especially since he no longer has to worry about re-election. I might change my mind on my opinion of the guy down the road if he does.
Just from this ruling though, it brings great hope that marriage equality will come to the Ohio ballot in 2014 and will almost certainly pass!
