Kansas, Supreme Court decline reshapes same sex marriage fight
The Supreme Court won't review appeals striking down state same sex marriage bans, leaving Kansas and other states to press or defend their laws. Kansas officials vow to fight to preserve the amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman, while opponents view the bans as likely unconstitutional. The decision shifts the battleground to state courts and potential lawsuits as the 10th Circuit may apply the same standard to other states.

Leonard Pitts Jr. notes a Cheerios ad featuring two gay fathers with their adopted daughter Raphaelle as a hopeful sign for marriage equality. He contrasts the Canada campaign with the U.S. Supreme Court inaction that left lower court rulings standing, calling the implicit approval seismic and praising progress toward normalizing diverse families.
