Happy-happy, joy-joy, gay-day

Ding, dong, the DOMA might soon be dead. Second Circuit totally smacked its unconstitutional shit right down. Read it and weep your tears of gratitude, ye children of the light. The best read is Jezebel's Erin Gloria Ryan, of course. 
Today, a Federal Appeals Court in New York ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act — which defines marriage on the federal level as the union between one man and one woman — is unconstitutional on the grounds that DUH, LEGALLY ENSHRINED DISCRIMINATION AGAINST GAY PEOPLE IS NOT OKAY. I'm paraphrasing here.
Ms Ryan has more, so clicky the linky, y'all.
