The Supreme Court of the "Unity and Freedom" state declared that under the state's constitution, gay and lesbian couples must be granted the same benefits and protections enjoyed by their heterosexual counterparts. But the ruling is something of a mixed bag for gay-rights advocates. While the state has already approved legal protections to gays' and lesbians' housing, employment and civil rights, TIME writer John Cloud says, "this ruling is more of a defeat than a victory."
