Progress for Gay Marriage? The Supreme Court will soon decide.....

In the next week, the Supreme Court of the United States will hear a case that is landmark for the Gay Marriage struggle. Even if it is going to the Court, most Americans have given their opinions on same-sex marriage and the general consensus is there is no turning back on the issue. This new feature of society will continue to move forward no matter what people say otherwise. 

So far the highest Court in the land has elected to not rule on the issue with a clear decision. This issue has arisen once again with gay couples filing petitions for the Court to make a federal ruling on the decision. Considering the disagreements that the lower courts have had on the issue this would make it so much more harder for the Supreme Court to stay out of the game and instead force them into the picture no matter how reluctant they are to rule. Now a ruling on either side of the issue could infuriate millions of people with controversial views about each side of the conflict, but for most they believe that this issue will progress forward. Previously in June of 2013 the Court overturned the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8 which meant that the Court had stopped very short of making same-sex marriage a basic right to those that chose to take advantage of it. 

Some have compared the fight for gay marriage rights with the Civil Rights fight of the 1900's. These rights were fought for and won. Will gay marriage rights be attained in the same fashion?
