Gay Marriage Will Reach Supreme Court

Disclaimer, article is from newsmax. Don't click on the link if you don't want to see other things from newsmax (but the article in question is good).

One way or another, the issue of gay marriage seems squarely headed to the Supreme Court.

Two federal appellate court decisions, one in Massachusetts and the other in California, have set the stage for challenges to federal and state laws limiting marriage to a union between a man and a woman.

But the bigger news is that a confrontation in the court, which many civil libertarians and gay rights activists originally feared would come too soon, now seems to be proceeding at just the right pace.

The politics of gay marriage have changed, and that cannot help but affect the legal battle. Courts can only get so far ahead of the public, and in this case, they aren't nearly as far ahead as they would have been a few years ago.
