ALBUQUERQUE'S ROBINSON PARK IS QUIET NOW, BUT IT WAS THE SCENE OF A RALLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN CELEBRATION OF THE SUPREME COURT RULINGS ON TWO MAJOR GAY MARRIAGE ISSUES. SUPPORTERS AND GAY COUPLES RALLIED WITH OBVIOUS OPTIMISM FOR WHAT COULD HAPPEN IN NEW MEXICO.
GAY MARRIAGE ADVOCATES HOPE THE HIGH COURT DECISION ALLOWING MARRIED GAYS TO GET FEDERAL BENEFITS BY STRIKING DOWN THE DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT … AND RULING CALIFORNIA'S PROP 8 BAN ON GAY MARRIAGE UNCONSTITUTIONAL … OPENS THE DOOR TO SAME SEX COUPLES BEING ABLE TO LEGALLY MARRY IN NEW MEXICO.
THE ACLU SAYS THE HIGH COURT'S RULINGS ON WEDNESDAY ARE A START.
