8. This is how change happens. Once case at a time, one circuit at a time, one state at a time.

A lot of folks want someone to wave their magic wand and make equality happen overnight. It ain't gonna happen- it's never happened that way, why should it start now?

This is the grunt work, the one-step-at-a-time effort that goes on behind the scenes. 30 years from now, everyone will point to Windsor the same way we point to Loving today. What popular perception tends to forget are all the cases filed after Loving striking down various state bans on interracial marriage based on precedent.

This is why each case is important, and your money is best donated to the organizations fighting them.
