“Prop. 8: Supreme Court may redefine gay rights.” Bob Egelko has this article today in The San Francisco Chronicle.

In last Thursday’s edition of The Los Angeles Times, David G. Savage had an article headlined “Gay marriage fight may hinge on Supreme Court’s Anthony Kennedy; Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Republican, hasn’t toed the conservative line on gay rights; That may deter the Supreme Court from taking the Proposition 8 case.”

And in today’s edition of The LATimes, law professor Michael Klarman has an op-ed entitled “Why gay marriage is inevitable: With more openly gay people and strong support for same-sex unions among the young, the war is over even as the fighting continues.”

Brown asking. ‘No,’ O’Hara, then 26, told him in 2003. ‘Well, when you meet me, you’ll know what it means,’ Judge Brown said.”
