Telegraph: Reports the following from the US Supreme Court, " Hopes among gay rights activists that the US Supreme Court would make a sweeping ruling in favour of gay marriage receded sharply after the court's nine justices appeared to shy away from taking a firm line on the issue. ".
Lets Get Real:
The Supremes it seems have no backbone on this subject, its a matter of deep civil rights, in the 1960s African - Americans had to fight to get their Civil Rights and the US Politicians, Democrats and Republicans saw it as the right move to support such efforts, yes it cost the Democrats the South but it was the right thing to do, a narrow view of civil rights is not what the US should be about, its about freedom to be, and the State, local or federal has no right to decide what marriage means, as in the negative, that does not mean that Churches or other religious establishments have to carry out marriage services, that would be wrong, that would be the State saying that a Church etc has to see marriage the way the State sees the ACT, people should be allowed to marry, outside a Church. Sad day for the US Supreme Court should it duck this issue.
