People seeking clues about how soon the Supreme Court might weigh in on states' gay marriage bans should pay close attention to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told a Minnesota audience Tuesday. Ginsburg said cases pending before the circuit covering Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee would probably play a role in the high court's timing. She said "there will be some urgency" if that appeals court allows same-sex marriage bans to stand. Such a decision would run contrary to a legal trend favoring gay marriage and force the Supreme Court to step in sooner, she predicted. She said if the appeals panel falls in line with other rulings there is "no need for us to rush." Ginsburg didn't get into the merits of any particular case or any state's gay marriage ban, but she marveled at the "remarkable" shift in public perception of same-sex marriage that she attributes to gays and lesbians being more open about their relationships.

Sara Gilbert found an amazingly awesome way to tell her co-hosts and the audience on "The Talk" that she and her wife, Linda Perry, are having a baby. Sara Gilbert is perhaps best-known for playing Darlene Conner on the ABC sitcom "Roseanne," and for her role as Leslie Winkle on "The Big Bang Theory." But Gilbert is also the co-host and executive producer of CBS' "The Talk." "The Talk" this week has a segment called "Face You Fears," during which randomly assigned co-hosts have to face their greatest fears on live TV. Gilbert was supposed to become the stuffing for a bed of nails sandwich to help her through her fear of being hurt. But Gilbert declined to take part in the challenge -- for an excellent reason. "I'm actually not going to do the dare," Gilbert, choking up, tells her co-hosts, who include Sharon Osborne. "I'm going to tell you guys why. I, we found out about the dares this week, I was scared to do it, I

Popular YouTube lesbian vlogger Arielle Scarcella is back with a slightly different video this week that takes a look at what the Bible really has to say about same-sex relationships. In "7 Bible Quotes In Support Of Same Sex Relationships," Scarcella is joined by openly gay and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) activist Matthew Vines for some expert perspective. Vines, who recently released his book God and the Gay Christian, is perhaps best known for the viral YouTube video "The Gay Debate: The Bible and Homosexuality." "Sexual orientation is a pretty new concept," Vines notes in the above video. "Christians in the past tended to see same-sex behavior as a vice of excess like gluttony or drunkenness, not as a sexual orientation that can be expressed in loving, committed ways. So Christians don't have to reject their faith's tradition in order to accept same-sex relationships." Check out the video above. (Courtesy of HuffPost.com)

Lesbian twin pop duo Tegan and Sara have opened up about their childhood, in a video for the It Got Better campaign. The identical twins, from Calgary, Canada, have been writing music since age 15, and are vocal LGBT activists. Sara said: “I can remember the transition from gender and being different, to knowing there was something about my girl friends that I liked more than my boy friends. “We knew adults who were gay, it wasn’t completely ground-breaking for us, to be a teenager and be gay, we didn’t really know anyone. “I had a girlfriend who was spending all her time at my place. My mother started to ask questions, and finally she just was like ‘are you dating?’ “I was really surprised by her reaction – she was really disappointed, incredibly uncomfortable and didn’t want my girlfriend over any more. We had heated arguments, she really struggled.” Tegan added: “That affects you as a gay person when the person who’s supposed to be

Plaintiff Edie Windsor speaks to reporters after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act. Edith Windsor, who filed the original case that could upend the Defense of Marriage Act, says just getting the case to this point is a kind of victory. "We've made a huge step forward and a huge difference in how people look at us," she said. "And so, it'll happen. Another year if not now." It was the death of Windsor's life partner, Thea Clara Spyer, that led to the case. Theirs was not a fleeting romance -- the women were together 42 years sharing ups and downs, laughs and tears. They also shared what they'd earned together, including from Windsor's job as a programmer with IBM and Spyer's work as a psychologist.
