The Associated Press has a profile on the federal and state judges who have been striking down bans on same-sex marriage: "Collectively, these judges are diverse — white and black, male and female, gay and straight, some appointed by Democratic presidents and some by Republicans. However, they seemed to draw common inspiration from a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June 2013 that ordered the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages ... But the judges' opinions — often embellished by soaring language — reflected a yearning to be on what they had come to see as the right side of history."
