"The dust is still settling after today's historic decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act, but that doesn't mean it's too early to start trying to sort out the implications of the decision. Among the biggest questions: Will the DOMA decision serve as a legal basis for efforts to legalize same-sex marriage in the 37 states that do not currently allow it? "

Wilson Cruz, a spokesman for the LGBT rights group GLAAD, said that while it is "premature" to answer the question definitively, the DOMA decision will move the debate in favor of same-sex marriage. "The first domino in this issue has fallen," he said, "and now we're going to see the rest of them fall by the wayside."
