Do you think Gay Marriage will end up before the United States Supreme Courts?

[WiMu]

Which way do you think they will rule, and do you believe that it will be the next Roe v. Wade?

1. I Hope It Does

I hope it does end up before the Supreme Court, but I hope the reception to it is a lot better than that to Roe vs. Wade. Thirty-five years after the ruling that women had a right to control their own bodies, there are too many still fighting to take that right away.

I would hope that thirty-five years after the Supreme Court rules that homosexuals deserve the same rights to marriage as everyone else, the concept is as well (or better) accepted than desegregated schools.

So, I hope it is more like Brown vs. Board than Roe vs. Wade.

2. Religion will see to it.

3. It will be the next Loving v Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967)

However, since not everyone is familiar with Loving v. Virginia, in terms of notoriety, controversy and passion, it just might be the next Roe v. Wade.

Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967)<1>, was a landmark civil rights case in which the United States Supreme Court declared Virginia's anti-miscegenation statute, the "Racial Integrity Act of 1924", unconstitutional, thereby overturning Pace v. Alabama (1883) and ending all race-based legal restrictions on marriage in the United States.

4. I think it will. And I think laws against it will be overturned. What makes me sad though is

that WON'T end the bigotry. The haters will still hate.

7. That's a wonderful statement and I agree with it 100%

But he was addressing the physical manifestation of hatred, and we have many laws against that. The law, however, will not and cannot change what's in people's hearts. That's what we need to work on.

6. I think so

and I really really hope their decision results in the govt getting out of the marriage business entirely
The govt should have nothing to do with the word 'marriage'.

8. Hopefully not yet, since we only have 2 SC judges on our side...

we know how "unconstitutional" they can be with their Bush v. Gore decision.
