Prop. 8 decision actually a victory in disguise?
One of Andrew Sullivan's readers with a legal background finds a lot to be happy with in today's California Supreme Court ruling. It keeps intact for gays and lesbians all of the benefits and rights of marriage, even if their unions can't be called "marriage." (I'm referring to same-sex couples who wish to legally recognize their relationships going forward, not those already married.)
And it raised the bar for any future amendments that would restrict the rights and privileges themselves.

Do "all of the benefits and rights of marriage" include 'marriage' to a non-American, and the potential for that person to become a citizen of the United States as heterosexual marriages allow?
Until such time that it does, it is not true 'separate equality', as such 'almost marriage' definitions seem to think it is.
