LA Times: Gay Marriage Proponents Hopeful Issue Will Head Back To SCOTUS.

[Initech]

WASHINGTON — The legal campaign for marriage equality is picking up speed, moving at a pace that has surprised even longtime advocates and increasing the likelihood of a definitive Supreme Court test as early as next year.

Efforts by some lawyers to plan a careful strategy for which cases to push forward to the high court have largely been put aside amid a rush of lower-court rulings striking down bans on same-sex marriage. The most recent came Thursday in Virginia, the first such ruling in the South.

"I don't think there is any way to predict" which case will arrive at the Supreme Court first, lawyer David Boies said Friday following the Virginia ruling.

Hopefully we'll see a federal marriage ban overturn in the decade! The times they ate a changing!

1. When SCOTUS ruled on DOMA Last year

I made the statement that we would have marriage equality in all 50 States within 5 years. I was told my many that I was crazy for thinking that even by some in the LGBT community (it would take many more years than just five, Anyone know how many cases are pending now that are headed to the Supreme Court? More than I can keep track of).

They can call me crazy all they want, I still believe what I said last year

2. I hope so

My parents just had their 45th anniversary. Why shouldn't gay people be able to do that if they want?
