Abstract

The day that proponents and opponents of same-sex marriage have variously feared and desired has come: The Supreme Court has agreed to decide once and for all whether it is unconstitutional for states to ban the celebration of marriages by same-sex couples and/or to refuse recognition to such marriages validly celebrated out of state. In this column, I’ll explain the path that has led to this moment, with its many twists, turns, and obstacles.
