This is good news. I think people need to stay vigilant though, because this will reinvigorate people who oppose gay marriage. Maybe reinvigorate isn't the right word, because they were pretty invigorated already. It'll **** 'em off.
Marriage equality will yet again show the hypocrisy of "gay representatives" in public. The "marriage equality project" actively shamed, bashed and even fought to criminalize cousin marriages.
The same gay representatives proclaimed Nevada to be the marriage-equality example back in the day, while also praising the efforts to take away thee children out of a first-cousin marriage of two Bengali immigrants in that same country, all in a same clause.
I won't even discuss the relentless trashing that state should have right to arrest any individual who has sex with their close relatives, regardless of marital state.
For the record, I consider a marriage to be something that is so wrong and so horrible that it should be banned from legislation. Making gay marriage legal will be just another end of throwing dust into people's eyes, since debate was obviously an inter-generational rather than by one's political affiliation. Republicans kept doing what they know best and they served their role of throwing dust into people's eyes over inexistent debate. This would've been a debate some 40 years ago, not today.
Today's world requires a serious debate to ban marriage from any legal practice. Unfortunately, this may become a mainstream debate only when young folks will overwhelmingly reject marriage anyways. Until then, we'll probably keep seeing stronger and stronger desire of legislators to impose the institution of forced marriages branded under "common law" cloak, playing out only when couples decide to separate - that'll be done in order to continue facilitating the absurd, revolting and criminal practices seen in courts today, not for the benefit of society of individuals.

Not much they can do, until their is a tilt in SCOTUS. That, to me, is what really makes presidential elections important.
