Last weekend’s San Francisco Pride Parade came days after a Supreme Court decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied benefits of marriage to same-sex couples. The court also dealt a blow to proponents of California’s Proposition 8, the voter-approved initiative that banned same-sex marriage. As thousands descended on the city to celebrate, New America Media asked participants what they saw as the next major hurdle for the gay community.
