I'm pretty disgusted by the "states rights" defense of unequal marriage laws. Gays in Alabama shouldn't have unequal opportunities before the law just because they live in Alabama. I thought we learned this lesson in the aftermath of Brown.
The 10th Amendment is cut and dry, and marriage is not mentioned in the Constitution. Marriage laws are a states right, and the Supreme Court recognized it today. The right decision was made. I suspect Alabama and Utah will have equal marriage by 2025 the way the momentum is turning.

I see your 10th amendment and raise you the 14th
