I'm in favor of gay marriage, but using the courts to do it is a dangerous way to go about it--it'll just make the homophobes push for a constitutional amendment banning it, if not in the federal constitution then state by state where they can (and I'm sure a lot of states would pass it). Besides, it'll keep the issue alive. Abortion is still a hot topic 35 years after Roe v. Wade, because the courts forced abortion on us with shaky legal reasoning instead of leaving it to the legislatures like they should've.

More and more people support gay marriage every day, we should wait until enough of them do for legislatures to legalize it rather than using the legal system as an undemocratic shortcut and having judges twist the law to read things into them that we know weren't supposed to be there in the first place.

He needs to learn that lil Larry will never be the same again after this painful intrusion. Larry's family asks for privacy and respect while they cope with this tragic molestation.
