The bad news is that the ruling could galvanize the forces against marriage equality just ahead of the November 7th U.S. mid-term elections. Voters in eight states will be handing down their own verdicts on the issue, and what they do at the ballot box could have a huge impact on the future of legal recognition for lesbian and gay couples. Despite the track record of previous ballot initiatives to ban marriage equality, analysts say that at least a couple of the current measures may fail.
