Even before the May 15th announcement by the California Supreme Court regarding same-sex marriage, there appeared to be daily events occurring regarding the legal, political, and social battle over Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual (GLBT) rights.
In an effort to better cover that specific issue, TwoMinuteBriefing has created a new blog specific to that topic.

California Supreme Court Legalizes Same-sex Marriages
(Over the next few days, there will be updates on this issue.)
Yesterday the California Supreme court issued a ruling effectively legalizing Same-sex marriage in
In the case, tentatively titled In re MARRIAGE CASES, the court interestingly concludes that 1) marriage is a fundamental right protected by the state constitution (p. 5), and 2) that marriage is so important it should not be denied to any loving couple (p. 120).
For those opposed to Gay Marriage, their work on an amendment to the California State Constitution becomes that much more critical. If this amendment had been in place prior to the California Supreme Court addressing this current case, the Court’s decision would likely have been different.
