The VRA is a punch in the gut. It's very depressing. I'm in Texas and see no end to the republicans. However I'm very very happy for LGBTers. Today's decision was the right decision. It is not going to grant same sex marriage to places like Texas. However, Texas is a huge military state and same sex marriage will be legal on the bases. (Hee Hee)

I think there is going to be gradual erosion of LGBT resistance in the red states.
