I remember our homeroom teacher was ranting about the problem of same-sex marriage and how god views it as a sin. At that time, I thought the opposition of same-sex marriage was naturally right because everybody in our school thought so including faculties and students.

Although there are different states that are allowing it, many have not, and I think that the Supreme Court will favor the majority. In addition, most of the Congress is mad up of Republicans, who tend to be very religious, and will for that matter, vote against same sex marriage.

Both the House and the Senate are dominated by republicans, who believe that marriage is solely between a man and a woman. Also, many states have already amended their constitution against same-sex marriage.

While they will most likely take our nations very polarized public opinion into account, the justices must also look at previous cases as a precedent for their decision.

This is because there are so many more important things in the world to worry about. I grew up in a Catholic family so our views are not positive about gays, but at the same time I don't even pay too much attention in church.

The SC decided not to take this case into court, so with that said, what ever the federal court below them ruled on will stand in their respective district. The SC did not ban or legitimize same sex marriage across the nation, however many states today do in fact either ban or allow it.
