It's an understatement to say there's some apprehension among many gays and lesbians about the Supreme Court's decision to take up the Prop 8 case. Is the fear warranted?

The Supreme Court announced today that it will take up the Prop 8 case and one of the several DOMA cases. The next step in the review process for both cases is a scheduling order, which should come soon, laying out the date for oral arguments at the Supreme Court.

Today we rejoice in this opportunity for our Justices to affirm our Constitution's promises of liberty, equality and human dignity as we watch the arc of the moral universe continue to bend toward justice.

Now that the Supreme Court has decided that it will accept jurisdiction to determine whether or not the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is constitutional, we have to start making our wish list for the future. Go ahead and dream.

If the Supreme Court decides not to review the Prop 8 case, the Ninth Circuit Court's decision will stand, and same-sex couples in California will soon be able to marry again. The court has already delayed announcing its decision several times.

Everyone should have the right to stand in front of friends and family to make a lifetime commitment to a partner. Everyone should have the right to be a family, and to be able to protect that family.

The cases before the Court touch upon our understanding of "the family" as an essential building block of society, and whether we can reasonably expect individuals to put part of who they are on hold in order to be considered worthy citizens.

Staying true to its nonpartisan roots, or at least attempting not to appear overtly pro-LGBT, the military has developed quite a portfolio of not-well-publicized socially progressive initiatives under the Obama administration. Here are a few things they've been up to under the gaydar.

We all know that Election Day, including the reelection of President Obama, was historic for LGBT Americans. Now we need to translate those results into tangible, concrete change.

I asked 10 of America's top LGBT leaders what they are thinking. From GLAAD to HRC to GetEQUAL, leaders from some of the most active organizations, along with independent and grassroots activists and opinion shapers, shared with me their thoughts and plans for "Obama 2.0."

When Obama says he'll fight for your family, he means all our families -- including LGBT families. Today we celebrate the reelection of a president who has not only given us change we can believe in but who has given us progress to take heart in.

Obama did more for lesbian and gay Americans in his first term than any president in history. And because of him, no one in my lifetime will be able to win the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party without supporting full equality for lesbian and gay Americans.

I'm just one voice, and a Canadian voice at that -- but this is my home, my partner's home, and our family and friends here are Americans. I'm proud to live here but I'm tired of fighting and I'm tired of being scared and I know I'm not alone.

Many have called LGBT equality the civil rights issue of our time. I think they're right. And Mitt Romney doesn't only oppose marriage for gays, he finds the prospect of gay parenting to be anathema to all that's good and civil.

In this post I will thoroughly lay out which aspects of the marriage equality movement pertain to federal law and which pertain to state law, explaining the consequences that this federal/state split have for marriage equality gains in both the judiciary and the legislature.
