Awwwww....
Judge Jeffery White of the District Court for the Northern District of California ruled
that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) violates the Constitution’s
equal protection clause in a case brought by Karen Golinski. Golinski,
represented by Lambda Legal, “was denied spousal health benefits
by her employer, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San
Francisco.” White was appointed to the court by President George W. Bush
in 2002. The decision represents a serious setback for House Speaker
John Boehner (R-OH), whose Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG)
defended DOMA after the Obama administration announced it would no
longer defend the law. Read the full opinion here. (HT: GinnyLaRoe)

...the Court finds persuasive the holding in the Ninth Circuit that sexual orientation is recognized as a defining and immutable characteristic because it is so fundamental to one’s identity.
Game and set.
equal means gay equal?
