Throughout the United States, gay marriage proponents are celebrating, proclaiming that the Supreme Court's rulings on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California's Proposition 8 has made the legalization of gay marriage the law of the land. They are now aiming at ensuring that gay couples may receive full marriage benefits in each of the 50 States. The problem is, the courts did not rule that gay marriage is constitutional, in the case of the Proposition 8 case. They ruled that the defenders of Proposition 8 had no standing.
