Supreme Court Rejects Appeal of Gay Marriage Law

So the SC chose not to hear any appeals to ban gay marriage in Massachusetts. To some this may feel like a victory, and it can definitely be a stepping stone on the way towards victory--though it could be said stepping stone in either direction.

It would definitely have been more in favor of defending/promoting gay marriage had the SC decided to hear the appeal and then rejected it, making the ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. By not doing this, it gives room to set up more cases of allowable same sex unions, but it also allows for the continued attack on same sex marriage being waged across the nation. It still leaves the door open for Bush to try and edge his Anti-gay Marriage Amendment in.

All moral hang-ups aside--it's not as if homosexuals are trying to force straights into marrying them, so what's the big problem? Homosexuals getting married isn't going to cause society to crumble. Has Mass. become a hedonistic neo Sodom and Gammorah? Is civilization there ending?

Aren't there more important things to worry about than legislation saying Johnny can't marry Steve?
