California

California's state supreme court removed the ban on gay marriage. The ban was put in place by the voters of California. How will politicians and the public respond?
NYTimes.

Interesting analysis from Gallup on America's public opinion towards the issue:
Even as a majority of Americans believe homosexuality ought to be an "acceptable alternative lifestyle," only 40% currently say marriage between same-sex couples should be legal; 56% disagree.
Another important point to note in the article: Americans have become more accepting of gay lifestyles over the past couple decades.
