The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the Supreme Court is likely to rule as soon as 2015 on whether there is now a fundamental right to gay marriage:
The U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver will go first, with oral arguments scheduled for April on the cases from Oklahoma and Utah. The Virginia ruling will go to the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., and the Kentucky case will go to the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in San Francisco, has a pending appeal from Nevada but has not scheduled arguments.Once an appeals court hands down a decision, the losing side will have 90 days to file an appeal in the Supreme Court. As a result, a ruling that comes this summer could easily reach the justices in time for a decision in 2015.
Meanwhile here are the states facing gay-marriage decisions in 2014:

my my, how will Roberts vote?????
will same sex marriage(gag) be considered a tax?
Foregone conclusion
The Kritarch’s have already made up their minds
This goes through, they don’t care what you think
Up next in this sick perverted world of ours:
The legalization of prostitution
Lowering the age of consent
Legalizing sex with animals
I think the issue is can a queer other half get insured on the one half's policy and can money go to a queer other half
It's all about money ... not rights.
Personally, I think a queer has as much a right to commit suicide by disease as the idiots (former idiot, here) have to smoke or drink themselves to death.
The king of Sodom sits in our white house and it sickens me.
Prostitution is currently legal, isn’t it?
If not I assume the feds would shut down Nevada brothels.

I suspect Roberts will vote with the 6-3 majority that any state which officially recognizes marriage must also recognize homo marriage.
They will rule this under the 14th, totally ignoring the 10th.
We'll rue the day we allowed marriage to become a Federal issue, starting with the IRS code.
PeTA might fight that last one.
FABOLOUS!!! Just wait FRiends the next step after this will be to put all who disagree with this preveted lifestyle in reeducation gualogs.
Pro-gay spins on the meaning of the 14th Amendment's equal protections clause aside, why should the Supreme Court get involved when the answer is obvious? The states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect so-called gay "rights."
The only way to stop this is to pass a Marriage Amendment in the next year.
Marriage is about children..... NOT Love.. Lust.. or anything Groinal..
No, we’ll rue the day contraception became legal — because that’s what decoupled sex from procreation and enabled the redefinition of marriage.
OF COURSE the Constitution grants the right to same sex marriage.
Its between the Article which grants abortion rights and the Article which prohibits public display of Christian religion, in the same Paragraph which grants the right to subsidized healthcare.
Well, not many of us will.

It will be found that nobody challenging being forced to support it as violative of their religious liberties will have standing... they’ll simply leave the federal-court decisions like the one forcing the baker to provide services as valid on their own.
“No, well rue the day contraception became legal because thats what decoupled sex from procreation”
Absolutely.
If our nation does not return to morality and continue with public policies that decouple sex from procreation and redefines marriage, we will careen further to destruction.
The Supreme Court clarified this issue in terms of the 14th Amendment when it decided Minor v. Happersatt. Regardless that pro-gay activist judges are now subjectively reading vote-winning, PC rights into the Equal Protections Clause of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, the Supreme Court had clarified that this clause added no new constitutional protections.
3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had (emphasis added). Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
Don’t worry, Kennedy will save us!
