It's a good precedent but very weird because it means the US becomes a checkerboard where people have rights in some states but not others. Not a bad thing that some places have rights but I wish they could do something more federal
The US has always been that way. Allowing states to make important decisions for themselves is the whole point of having states. The downside is it allows states to make horrible decisions about things like human rights, but the upside is that those same horrible decisions aren't usually foisted on the whole country. Personally I'm glad I was able to escape a lot of Texas bullshit by moving to another state.
