Victory in New York, or, We Must All Hang Together.

Victory in New York just in time for the Gay Pride parade. Some homophobe this morning described this as a short-lived win. "Picking the low hanging fruit", and " Wait until New Yorkers get their constitution changed" and crap like that.
Quoting Ben Franklin:
"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."
(At the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.)
I love that New York passed this legislation. And it has no residency or waiting period. But the homophobes of the country will keep working hard and picking off the states one by one. Like the abortion clinics in Kansas. What is needed is a Federal law that settles the issue. Not the DOMA abortion. Not the DADT monstrosity. A simple law that defines marriage as a union of two people in love. What the hell is so hard about that? Love isn't a "God-given" condition. (Difficult anyway with out a god). Love just is. No bounds and no limits.
What I fear here is the real possibility that "- - - assuredly we shall all hang separately."
