For those seeking commentary about the response of various religious bodies to yesterday's SCOTUS decision striking down DOMA, a wealth of good material has come online in the past two days, particularly at the Religion Dispatches site. Here are some links, in no particular order:

Joanna Brooks, RD, "Mormons Absorb SCOTUS Prop 8 Ruling"
Anthea Butler, RD, "DOMA Defeat Represents 'Persecution,' Some Say"
Pamela R. Lightsey, RD, "From Voting Rights to Today's DOMA Repeal--LGBT Orgs Are Missing the Rainbow"
David Gushee, RD, "Christians v. Gays: The Damage Done
Fred Clark, Slacktivist, "DOMA Unconstitutional, Prop 8 Goes Away"

And I'm sure I'm missing many other valuable statements. Please feel free to note the ones I've missed in comments.
