I haven't had a chance to digest the New York decision on marriage equality or to solicit the thinking of smart legal minds. But it's clear that I can put off that decision on whether engagement rings from Tiffany's are a bit much for a while longer.

Here's a quick roundup of interesting stuff on the decision I've read from around the Web:

• Republic of T's Terrance Heath talks about the recent American American Academy of Pediatrics study that cited "ample evidence ... that children raised by same-gender parents fare as well as those raised by heterosexual parents" and found that marriage would benefit the children of same-sex couples. Terrance also talks about his own happy, healthy 3 year-old son being raised by him and his husband.

• Raw Story has the goods on Howard Deans response to the justification used in the court's ruling. Dean called it "bigoted and outdated."

• SCOTUSblog considers whether the New York decision and a marriage-equality ruling in Georgia raise federal questions. (Short answer: no, they don't.)

• Glenn Reynolds favors marriage equality but wants it to happen through the political process -- an idea I want to hear more about.

• And finally, this old piece from Washington U. anthropologist Lisa Stone gives one take on the historical and cross-cultural fluidity of marriage.
