SANTA FE, N.M. – Just a week before the U.S. Supreme Court is set to take up the question of same-sex marriage, New Mexico’s capital city is declaring same-sex marriage legal in New Mexico and they’ve issued a legal memo and resolution supporting it.

Support for marriage equality for gays and lesbians has reached a new high, marking a dramatic change in public opinion on the subject over the past decade.

Fifty-eight percent of Americans now say same-sex marriage should be legal, according to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll released Monday.

Evangelical minister, author, and speaker Rob Bell made clear his support for marriage equality this weekend during a speech at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. "I am for marriage. I am for fidelity," he said. "I am for love, whether it's a man and woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man." This marks a decided step forward for the immensely popular and equally controversial Christian leader.

WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton today joined the Human Rights Campaign’s Americans for Marriage Equality series, a public engagement campaign featuring prominent Americans who support committed gay and lesbian couples getting married.

As Secretary of State, Clinton was an outspoken advocate on the world stage for global LGBT rights.
