DOMA and Prop 8. Both History.

Well, I could easily go out of state and have a justice-of-the-peace quickie elsewhere and then just have a formal party back home. I don't know if there's much point of that, though, since the marriage won't be recognized where I live and I rather expect my career will move me elsewhere eventually.

I meant to ask you about this. Seeing as how your state currently views you as sub-human, do you envision yourself moving to another state in the near future that more appropriately recognizes your equality to other human beings? Assuming you give your state some time to come around, of course. The next five years will be quite interesting on that front, as I'm sure we can all predict fairly accurately which states will be updating their laws and which won't.

My first reaction upon hearing the Supreme Court rulings was that there was bound to be a slow "brain drain" out of the backwards states as the affluent (meaning able to pick up and move as desired) homosexual community members migrate to places where their marriages would be considered valid.
