Look Forward To The Supreme Court Debate

++January will begin the same-sex marriage debate at the Supreme Court. I don't know who the advocates will be or who will argue against it.

++The advance of LGBT rights under this administration has been astonishing. The administration ruled by executive order last week transgender people will be protected as federal employees. But a majority of our states still allow discrimination against LGBT people in their hiring practices.

++Still we approach the same sex marriage debate wondering how the Supremes can blow this one.

++35 states and the District of Columbia allow same sex marriages. Florida joins the ranks in two weeks.How would a negative ruling impact not only the couples but the states where the issue is resolved.

++NOM and other anti-gay organizations have sputtered this past year. Some are even facing bankruptcy. Who's going to take up the anti-gay mantle except the extreme Religious Right?

++ I am sure I'll have something to write near the time of the oral arguments but this one looks like a no-brainer.
