Note it says it was a key victory for them. And didn’t he later provide the key vote to legalize homo marriage?

no, John Roberts did not vote to legalize homosexual marriage. He was in the minority which voted to uphold the Defense of Marriage Act.

I’m as frustrated as any about some of John Roberts’ rulings, but we do want to be factually correct, that he didn’t vote to overturn marriage laws in this country.

The 2015 Obergefell(sp?) decision was a 5 to 4 decision imposing homosexual marriage nationwide. The 5 who voted in favor were : Kagan, Sotomayor, Ginsburg, Breyer, and Anthony Kennedy. The 4 who voted to uphold traditional marriage laws, were John Roberts, Alito, Thomas, and Scalia.
