The Supreme Court has declined to hear appeals on five cases involving same-sex marriage. As a result, the lower court ruling in those states will stand and Utah, Oklahoma, Indiana, Virgina and Wisconsin will all have full marriage rights for same sex couples. Sounds like a pretty big punt since most people expected them to take on the cases and the court instead giving de facto approval to same sex marriage in those states.
[edit: I know that there's other nuances but only felt like typing so much]

Hasn't the SCotUS been trying to avoid a flat out "All states must recognize gay marriage as a thing"? It seems like they're willing to strike down bans as unconstitutional, but otherwise wanting the states to handle things themselves. This looks like it's right in line with that.
EDIT: For fuck's sake, the word gay needs to be removed from the filter. It's flat-out offensive that it's filtered at all.

Roberts is still hurting for speaking fees after the Obamacare thing, they don't want to have to come down on the side of personal freedom and risk the ire of the GOP.

Yes, also "Pickle Smoocher Marriage, Booty Pirate Marriage, Carpet Eater Marriage, Hair Pie Aficionado Marriage, and Short Haired Women Who Enjoy Owning Dogs Marriage"
All totally fine. It's not that hard to avoid using horrible slurs like "gay". Just be a little creative.
Edit: Wow, it's terribly difficult to refer to asses, now. I guess if it comes up again for some reason, I'll use "bumbum"

9th Circuit court struck down the bans in Nevada and Idaho today. Was largely expected after yesterdays Supreme Court inaction.

They're not really against gay marriage, they're just fighting against it for the oh so interesting conversations.

xkcd is relevant, and now I know interracial marriage wasn't cool with most people until the mid 90's. People are weird.
