Here is an article on the Supreme Court's rulings on two "same sex marriage" cases. In both cases, the court ruled in favor of so called "same-sex marriage." Mohler's assessment is worth reading.
Even though the Court did not rule today that all states must legally
recognize and allow for same-sex marriages, the handwriting is on the
wall. Justice Kennedy’s majority opinion implicitly invites any citizen
who resides in a state that does not allow for same-sex marriage to
claim that his or her constitutional rights are violated on the basis of
the Court’s opinion handed down today. You can count on a challenge of
this form arising in short order.
As Justice Scalia noted in his dissent today, “As far as this Court is
concerned, no one should be fooled; it is just a matter of listening and
waiting for the other shoe.”
The Court’s majority did not want to pay the political price that a decision as immediately sweeping as Roe v. Wade
would have cost. Instead, the majority decided to send a clear signal
that such a case will now be well received. It struck down DOMA by
employing a logic that, as Scalia noted, cannot stop with the striking
down of DOMA. It can only stop with the full legalization of same-sex
marriage in all fifty states by judicial fiat.
