Obama Administration - "Denying Same Sex Benefits Unconstitutional"

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] [url=http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/22/politics/supreme-court-marriage/index.html?hpt=hp_t1]Full article here[/url] 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?

    At some point, lawmakers have to choose either to draw a line somewhere or not at all. I'm not asserting a slippery slope argument against LGBT marriage (in fact, I don't see why it isn't recognized already), but what about when the polygamist community speaks out? Or adult/minor couples? Are we going to say that the limit is two consenting adults of 18 years or older (or emancipated minors)?
