I have no doubt that there are gay judges who could rule without bias, as well as straight judges who would be biased one way or another. I haven't been following the case very well, so I can't really comment other than to say that I'd hope he'd have the integrity to remove himself if he knew he couldn't rule fairly.

I'm betting on 'Uphold', but his orientation probably won't effect the ruling either way

For what it's worth, I think he should recuse himself.

It doesn't automatically touch heterosexuals interests.

Yes, but if he doesn't recuse it's guaranteed, whatever the outcome.
