While this is a big step toward removing discrimination, there still will be a lot of discrimination in withholding benefits from the families of gays.
For example, military employee's spouse get certain benefits, yet the spouse of a gay military employee will continue to be discriminated against. just as civilian spouses of gay people are discriminated against with all sorts of spousal benefits like social security benefits.
