I don't pretend to know if and when the Supreme Court will rule that there is a constitutional right to Gay Marriage but here's an interview with a scholar who thinks they ought to.
In other news: You probably heard about the Indiana pizza parlor that announced it would never deliver pizzas to a gay wedding. This is a great example to serve my theory that so much of our political rancor in this country can be explaining by following the money.
There's no evidence that prior to their announcement, this restaurant ever received even one phone call from someone who said, "Hi. Two same-gender homosexuals are getting married here and we'd like you to send over a couple of large pies with pepperoni, mushrooms and extra cheese." Still, to reward them for their "courageous" stand, opponents of Same-Sex Wedlock are donating cash to the pizzeria, so far to the tune of $750,000.
And that's why most politicians and pundits who oppose it oppose it: Because it's an issue that riles some people up to the point where they'll donate cash…and probably even campaign for the person they think will stop it. If people would donate cash to wipe out cole slaw the way they will over Gay Marriage, Ted Cruz and Glenn Beck would be leading the charge against my least favorite side dish.
