I hope the Supreme Court does take the appeal and decides that this is an issue to be left to the states. The courts and Congress have increasingly ignored the 10th Amendment. This country was intended to be made up of sovereign states with international affairs and interstate commerce under the control of a federal government. We need to go back to that model or repeal the 10th amendment. BTW, I am fully in support of equal rights for gay/lesbian civil unions as I have said before on this board.
