Yeah, the tide in the courts particularly seems to be turning very quickly... it's quite impressive. It's something like three straight decisions now where courts struck down anti-gay laws! At this rate it won't be long at all until the Supreme Court is basically forced to address the issue again, and they'll probably continue this trend. It's pretty fantastic.
This was inevitable, though. Sure, many people are anti-gay, but most of the mare older; among younger people, even many conservatives are okay with gay rights, I think. It's not at all like the abortion issue in that respect -- gay rights are an issue where America as a whole has moved very quickly towards support. And we're now seeing the results of that. It's amazing that it's going so quickly, but that's great. I hope full legalization of marriage equality happens soon.
