According to today's New York Times editorial, a federal judge in Massachusetts finally stood up and said there was never a rational basis for the official definition of marriage as only between a man and a woman.
The editorial further agrees with Judge Joseph L. Tauro's outcome that to declare the definition unconstitutional is long overdue.
In an Associated Press article published yesterday regarding the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, Judge Tauro wrote: "Congress undertook this classification for the one purpose that lies entirely outside of legislative bounds, to disadvantage a group of which it disapproves. And such a classification the Constitution clearly will not permit."
Marriage equality seems to be heading in the right direction.
