Anti-gay forces want Supreme Court to stop DC marriage law

The U.S. Supreme Court. That's the latest -- and last -- stop for the homophobes trying to prevent equality in DC:

Opponents of gay marriage are asking the Supreme Court to put a hold on the District of Columbia's new law allowing same-sex couples to wed.

The new law, passed in December, is supposed to take effect Wednesday. Court papers filed Monday with Chief Justice John Roberts argue that Washington residents should be able to vote on the matter. Local courts have rejected the opponents' arguments.

The Supreme Court should reject the arguments, too.

NOTE FROM JOHN: I guess they're only "activist judges" when they rule in favor of civil rights.
