None has come out publicly. There may be Supreme Court justices who are gay but there is no way to know unless they make it known voluntarily.

Why is the US Supreme Court sometimes said to fulfill a legislative function?
Their ruling become what is known as "Case Law". Basically this means, that anything that is questionable in the current law gets appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court. These 9 Justices then interpret the law as they see fit, in doing so they tend to create new law that was not originally in the law that congress passed, hence they created new law (which tech. is a legislative act). This is true of many State Supreme Courts aswell. To give an example: The MA state supreme court the SJC, decided on gay marriage and said it was allowed. California Supreme court did the same thing. The problem you face is that the judiciary was never meant to create law, rather it was meant to interpret the law. So in California Proposition 8 was passed, (a legislative act) which baned gay marriage, so now California has an issue. The supreme court of California allowed gay people to get married, now it is illegal for them to be married. So those who got married tech should have their marriage license revoked, this created a huge adminstrative dillema. In Vermont, the legislature passed the gay marriage act, so the Judges can't overturn it, and hence you dont run into this issue. The Supreme Court of the U.S. tends to create similar problems when they interpret law enacted by congress a little different than what congress intended them to mean. (CHNCHILA)

Does Ruth Bader Ginsburg support same-sex marriage?
The US Supreme Court justices don't talk publicly about social and political matters, particularly those that may come before the Court, so the only way to determine where a justice stands on the issues is to examine his or her voting record. Ginsburg's record of jurisprudence indicates she strongly favors same-sex domestic-partnerships and privacy rights; however, there is no way of know how she would vote on a case involving gay marriage.As well her being a liberal points she would be in support of this and her granddaughter and i speculate she supports it. (her granddaughter is a good friend of mine)
