It is sweet, and all they did was say, nah, we're busy with real issues, begone, just like those who somehow believe that tradition is more valuable than equality.

So far no statement? National Organization for Marriage

I guess they're at Kinko's, buying nice paper to print their resumes on.

Ironic the outrage some in the US have when Israel, God Central has allowed homosexuals to serve openly in the military, and get married for quite some time. And contrary to doom n gloom types, not suffered any ill-favor from God considering a number of attempts to destroy them, have never lost a war.
 
If the Courts won't correct the issue then maybe it's time to appeal to a Higher Court and see what Justices Colt, Winchester, Smith, Wesson, Remington, etc..... have to say on the matter
 
Not Really. Windsor was affirmed upon the long standing precedent marriage is a state purview.

Early in the decision the court discussed instances where marriage law was not strickly a state purview area.

Additionally, Windsor was decided not on tradition, but on the fact that it violated the 5th Amendments Equal Protection and Due Process protections:

"What has been explained to this point should more than suffice to establish that the principal purpose and the necessary effect of this law are to demean those persons who are in a lawful same-sex marriage. This requires the Court to hold, as it now does, that DOMA is unconstitutional as a deprivation of the liberty of the person protected by the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.

The liberty protected by the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause contains within it the prohibition against denying to any person the equal protection of the laws.See Bolling, 347 U. S., at 499–500; Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Peña, 515 U. S. 200, 217–218 (1995). While the Fifth Amendment itself withdraws from Government the power to degrade or demean in the way this law does, the equal protection guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment makes that Fifth Amendment right all the more specific and all the better understood and preserved.​
