The long and the short of their decision is that DOMA violates the 14th amendment, which is exactly correct. DOMA is unequal protection of the laws, granting special privileges to opposite-sex couples and withholding them from same-sex couples.
OK, let's examine your logic, Skippy. Heterosexual couples can marry who they want. Gays can't marry "who they want." So it's discriminatory. But single people married who they want too, no one, but you say fuck them. So the 14th amendment doesn't say that anyone can go into a man woman marriage is fair (according to you) and it doesn't say people can marry "who they want" (according to you), the 14th amendment, which doesn't mention gay people, in fact only applies to gay people.
So your argument boils down to that at the end of the Civil War when they thought they were denying the ability for government to subject black people to laws differently, they were actually saying gay people can get married and get government perks!
Gotcha. I love history lessons from liberals. Now I know what it's like taking acid.
