Those states and their intolerance is still a problem...but at least now, it seems they won't be able to continue to get away with it.

The religious intolerance, however, is a different story.  They don't have to let us in to their church, or their private religious school.  They don't have to allow us into their houses.  They don't have to frequent an LGBT-owned business.  They don't have to marry us or be friends with us.  Those are their choices - none of which would adversely affect us.
