Read the Supreme Court’s opinions in the DOMA case (United States v. Windsor – PDF) and in the Prop 8 case (Hollingsworth v. Perry – PDF).
A big decision day in a week of big decisions at the U.S. Supreme Court. Tuesday, the Voting Rights Act. Wednesday, gay marriage.
The high court is weighing two major cases — on California’s gay marriage ban and its overturn and on the Defense of Marriage Act and federal benefits for gay and lesbian couples.
The court’s decisions deal with the heart of a profound movement in cultural and legal understandings of same-sex marriage. Advocates of change, looking for affirmation. Opponents, for ammunition.
This hour, On Point: Decision day in the high court on same-sex marriage.
