“No, it’s best to start with state legislatures — that’s where you have the opportunity to pass progressive legislation. After that, I hope the courts will interpret the new laws to benefit gay people. Having gay issues brought up in legislatures is helpful. The increased awareness can have a positive influence on judges.”

“Yes. Judges don’t have to worry about politics as much as legislators. Judges are more likely to take the kind of risks that might be necessary for gay rights. Politicians are more concerned about voters and whether they can get reelected.”

“Yes. Go with what’s been working. It’s mainly been the courts that have granted gay marriage. If that approach stops working, then try something different. But I’d build up more momentum on the state level before taking the issue to the Supreme Court.”

“State legislatures are better. Lawmakers are more of the people. They’re beginning to realize they have no other choice than to support equal rights. The message is definitely out there. It’s only a matter of time. Black people got equal rights, and gay people will too.”
