That does make for a nice headline, but I think it's a very hard sell to say that the battle for gay rights is "over" when over half the states outlaw gay marriage not only by law but by a constitutional mandate. There's quite a ways to go.

Here's a cool breakdown of where gay marriage stands in the US today. It's an infographic with information on the rate of gay marriage, the rate of gay divorce, and a map showing which states outlaw gay marriage and how they outlaw it. Progress has been made, but the "battle" is far from over.
