"We're the first country in the world to enshrine marriage equality in our constitution and do so by popular mandate. That makes us a beacon, a light to the rest of the world, of liberty and equality.

A gay teen near Las Vegas, Nevada received an adorable "promposal" from his straight best friend. Anthony Martinez had wanted--badly--to go with a guy to prom and took to Twitter to make his desire known. It was Anthony's tweet that caught his straight best friend Jacob Lescenski's attention.

We can't know yet how the Supreme Court will rule on same-sex marriage in June of 2015, but we already do know this: The decision won't be based on a dispassionate reading of the Constitution. The 5-4 (or perhaps 6-3) ruling will be a reflection of the political orientation, values, and visceral feelings of each justice; as their "questions" (actually pronouncements) showed during the April 28, 2015 arguements session, every justice except perhaps Anthony Kennedy came into this case with his or her mind made up.
