The British High court hears a case this week by a lesbian couple, married in British Colombia, seeking to have their marriage legally recognized at home. The decision in this case could result in Britain recognizing same-sex marriages performed overseas where they are legal.

I suspect they may have bigger battles coming up by the time this works its way through the courts.

I'm optimistic for once!
