Great summary. I suspect that the Supreme Court has denied review so far because they know they are going to have a hard time arguing against gay marriage on a federal level. If California cements gay marriage (following the November ballot initiative) then this issue is only going to become more heated. Equality for gays is the civil rights issue of our time. I look forward to the day when people stop trying to deny specific groups equal rights.
