From NBC News: "The U.S. Supreme Court is set to tackle gay marriage in a matter of months, but legislative action this week in Rhode Island and Illinois shows that supporters aren't in wait-and-see mode. Buoyed by ballot victories in four states in November, they're now on the offensive in two more; wins would mean that more than 20 percent of Americans live in places that have approved same-sex marriage."
Could the Supreme Court decision on marriage equality cases be 3-3-3, not 5-4? "Say, for example, that three justices vote to reverse on the merits,
three vote to affirm based on the 9th Circuit's opinion, and three vote
to dismiss the appeal on jurisdictional grounds. In that case, I would
argue, Proposition 8 is dead and same-sex marriage is once again
available and recognized in California. The result would be a brief per
curiam explaining the disposition of votes, and at least three separate
opinions – maybe even more than that – to chart the outcome. No national
precedent would be set in such a case."
Are fans, not players, to blame for keeping European soccer players in the closet? From The Telegraph: "Part of football's appeal is its unreconstructed, largely masculine, largely working-class attitudes. It is easy to imagine that a gay footballer would dread the reaction at away grounds were he to come out."
