Advocates for gay rights need to change people's attitude towards gays and the court system is one of many tools to exert social influence. We aren't there yet but we will be in a decade or so and people's attitudes will change...they have to in order to cope with the stress of living in a society where gays are in your face.

In this instance, this is soley your opinion and no more definitive of "progress" than any other....opinion. And, I imagine not shared by many others with........opinions.
