  1. Who was the tiebreaker vote? not a Democrat
  2. Those justices were not guaranteed to rule that way and it should not have required a supreme court action to ensure rights to gay marriage.

Okay so the Democrats managed to appoint a couple of Supreme Court Justices that brought the balance to 5-4. Not that it matters because they squandered that with the win of the Trump Administration.

You're giving the Democrats far too much credit for rights at the LGBT community fought for themselves. So what did the Democrats accomplish, instead of just not prosecuting lgbtq people? Did they do anything to help enshrine the rights of lgbtq people because I remember that being a major problem for the Democrats was that they weren't doing anything for for the lgbtq community.

It's like when people give Henry Ford the credit for the 8-hour workday and not the unions that died fighting for that right.
