Who Runs the Gays?

The "Gill" Question and Religion and Attitudes Toward Same-Sex Marriage,  are two articles that have a description that tailor towards the idea of gay rights and how it holds up when it comes to marriage. In the “The Gill Question”, the article discusses a court case that is going on: Gill, et al. v. Office of Personnel Management, et al. This case is based on the terminology which people use to describe gay couples in the legal aspect, and how this terminology effects them in terms of taxes. In the article “Religion and Attitudes Toward Same-Sex Marriage”,  there is a detailed description of the polls and how it varies when it comes to who supports gay marriage. The combination of these articles brought to light for me, the connection between who is supporting gay marriage and how it hold up in law. I feel as though these laws are passes respective to the views of certain groups. Although there is a significant growth in the number in people who are actually in support of gay marriage, some of the number have decreased as well or stayed the same. It seems as though, as the numbers increase each year, the allowances for the gays, increase by a small margin in the legal system. Every year new states permit marriage, and the numbers are growing. This trial is a big deal because if gays will be allowed to be tagged as “married” as opposed to “partnership”, not only affects their rights to what they can benefit government-ally, but makes it seem as though their not in a real marriage.
