going to decide this case on the merits and i don t know how he s going to come out, but i also know about john roberts background. i ve written about him a lot. he s from a very conservative town in a conservative part of northern indiana, catholic family, very serious observant catholics, very republican family. i had no idea until the l.a. times broke this story that he had an openly lesbian very close cousin. but that s america today, and it is just an i think very revealing window into how the country has changed. jeffrey toobin, thank you so much. these two cases are going before the supreme court at a time when public support for same-sex marriage continues to grow. recent polls show that s the case, but maybe the most striking number of concerns how many americas count gays and lesbians as close members of their circles these days, the higher visibility of gay power in hollywood has not exactly hurt that cause. knock knock, anybody homo?
