"William Eskridge, by contrast, favors an equal protection-based ruling striking down Proposition 8, if the Supreme Court is to reach the merits at all, which he hopes it will not. His preference for avoidance or what he terms a narrower ruling based on Romer v. Evans is grounded in pragmatic considerations, especially worries that if the Court affirms a fundamental right to same-sex marriage, this will lead to a political backlash."
I found the quote above interesting, it touches on the argument, many give here, that society is not ready for this change. If we wait for society as a whole to be ready for any change we could wait forever. Having a gay brother and knowing many married and not, I find any right conferred on an American citizen should be available to all. All the mumbo jumbo jargon misses the simple point, unless gays have the same rights they are not treated equal. Seems simple. Will the community accept it, for many, hell no, I can think of lots today that is not accepted in our diverse society. Move on to important topics, live and let live.
