RIGHTS
One would hardly expect Arkansas and Montana to be breakthrough states when it comes to gay rights, but here we are.
Montana upholds the rights of gays to recieve domestic partner benefits in the university system and Arkansas upholds the right for gay parents to adopt children.
See this New York Times story.
While the right goes nuts over the marriage issue, the real building blocks of equal rights for gay partners will continue. These are both State constitutional issues and therefore unlikely to be appealable to the Supremes. Progress, one state at a time, just like the fundies.
