DTBRIEFS Supreme Court to talk gay marriage

The Supreme Court will decide this week whether or not it is the appropriate time to rule whether or not gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to marry. Only a decision to make a rul- ing deadline will be discussed. According to the Los Angeles Times, The justices must also hear appeals from defenders of California’s Proposition 8, which limited marriage to exist only between a man and a woman. Nine states now support marriage equality, and opinion polls show that a majority of Ameri- cans favor it as well, with about a four percent increase of support per year. Many legal experts and gay rights advocates differ on the subject, with some believing its best to wait, while others feel the court should protect everyone from harm now.
