Breaking news: SCOTUS facilitates gay marriage

SCOTUS declines to hear gay marriage cases, thus allowing several Federal appellate circuit cases legalizing it to stand.  The prediction is that more Federal appellate circuits will issue decisions legalizing it, eventually resulting in de-facto legalization for most, if not all, of the country.

PS: of course, the Court may decide to hear these cases in the future.

I heard a preacher a while back say he thought legalizing it was inevitable.  He was just hoping no one would try to force him to marry gay couples.  That is likely one of the next steps on the gay lobby's list.

Maybe, just maybe, SCOTUS has said something that I've read here a few times...marriage is a contract between two people with government blessing required.  Why should it matter what two people enter that contract?

Why should it matter that it be two?

I doubt many preachers would agree.  I also doubt the SCOTUS of 200 years ago would agree.
