If DOMA is struck down...
If the court rules the fed has no business denying benefits to people in states that recognize gay marriage or unions...
If gay marriage is legalized...
If marital benefits are extended equally to all...
If marital benefits are removed...
What will you do? My life won't actually change, but there seems to be so much "crazy" opposition that I'm wondering what will you do.
Will you move to a different state? Different country? Campaign against gay marriage even more? Home-school your kids? Become Amish?
Do tell...
I will applaud.
Sad that all the politicians out there claiming they no longer support it despite signing it....couldn't just repeal the law.

Nothing; life will go on exactly as it did before.
The law doesn't impact me, personally. So, what will I do? I will continue to live my life the day after any decision to strike-down DOMA as I did the day before.
Since gay couples will be getting all these benefits from the feds, the government will have less money for other things.
Expect less teachers, firefighters and policemen. Crumbling infrastructure. Long lines at airports. White house tours shut down. It will be a disaster and lives are at risk.
That's what liberals always say at the suggesstion of any type of tax break. Except when it's a tax break for gay folks.
I will be extremely happy & proud of this country for once. I'll be happy for my gay friends.
I suspect some people will have severe mental breakdowns because of it.

Reason: name calling
A contract for marriage is a right - for those who have rights.
A license to contract marriage is a privilege - for those who have no rights.
A common law marriage does not require government permission.
A licensed marriage requires government permission (aka "civil right").
A "civil right" is a liberty granted by government to those who have no natural nor personal liberty to do that which requires permission (license).
And the original reason for a marriage was to join the property of the spouses for the benefit of progeny. If there are no progeny, there's no reason for the joining. . . except that special benefits (bribes) are offered to married couples under national socialism.

It's hardly a 'break' when it merely eliminates sexual orientation as a qualifier for where one falls on the tax tables.
