Same-Sex 'Marriage' Lands Before U.S. Appeals Court

The quick rise of this individual case in the US Appeals Court is an interesting case. What makes this case particularly interesting is that many of the organizations working for legalization of same-sex unions are not in favor of this case. Their concern? That the US Supreme Court would outlaw same-sex unions federally at this time.

Of particular interest in this is how the judges seem to offer the individual plaintiffs an out to work with the national groups, but they rejected it! From the article;
Thomas and Judge Ferdinand Fernandez suggested the case may be premature, saying a state court of appeals in San Francisco is already weighing a lawsuit brought by gays and lesbians challenging California's prohibition against same-sex marriage. Gilbert, however, said he wanted a definitive ruling on whether federal laws and the 49 states that do not permit same-sex marriage are violating the U.S. Constitution's equal protection guarantee.

While the proponents of same-sex unions are not optimistic of a Supreme Court ruling at this time, those of us holding to the traditional and biblical form of marriage should not take their assessment for granted. We should continue to espouse the traditional model of marriage and encourage our elected officials to do the same.
