Sorry if this is old.
[quote]Washington (CNN) -- In a preview of a major constitutional showdown at the Supreme Court over same-sex marriage, the Obama administration said on Friday that a federal law denying financial benefits to legally wed gay and lesbian couples is unconstitutional.[/quote]

I'm happy. This is a step in the right direction. How long do you think it will take until homosexuals have the same rights and benefits as heterosexual couples?

Personally, I find that giving legal and economic benefits to ANY marriage--hetero or homo--who do not plan on having children as being stupid. The only reason the government should give benefits to a "married" couple is so that they will have children which will keep our nation's population steady and benefit us in the future. If they do not plan on having children, or at least adopting children (if they are sterile or homosexual), then I don't see why we should give them any benefits. They aren't helping the nation in any way.
