Equality is about more than marriage!

I'm strongly committed to marriage equality, but this is not the culimination of our fight for full equality. It is one of the steps toward it. First of all, I think of LGBT people of Southern Illinois where I grew up and most of America outside of major cities. We need non-discrimination in housing, employment in the entire United States. We beed to insist that those who serve in the military,rec...ieve the full rights of any family that is currently serving including burial rights and death benefits. We need to include our trans brothers and sisters in any non-discrimination legislation without exception. We need to work on eliminating the racism and sexism that is often covert, but sometimes overt in the LGBT Community. We need to insure that as our LGBT elders grow older that the systems of retirement, health care in nursing homes does not force them back into the closet. We need to know that violence against LGBT people will result in the swift but even hand of our criminal justice system. So whatever the outcome of the Supreme Court, there is still much work for equality yet to be achieve.
Justice Scalia asks just at what point did the question before the court become unconstitutional? The founding fathers didn't forsee a lot of things, the full personhood of black people ,freedom from slavery, right to vote for black people and women to vote. The consitution should not be used as fundamentlists often use scripture. It is a document that will find new questions that might be asked when face with a new reality. So as long as our Pledge of Alliance states "liberty and justice for all" and we mean as more than words, until that is true for everyone, we have more work to due for equality.
