Will the Supreme Court weigh in on same-sex marriage? - CBS News

In what has already been a pivotal year in the debate over same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court may decide it should weigh in on the issue.

The justices meet today in a private conference to discuss 10 cases they could take up relating to same-sex marriage, including eight that challenge the how a federal law, the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), applies to legally married same-sex couples. The justices could also decide to review a 2009 Arizona law impacting state employees, or the circuit court ruling that struck down California's ban on same-sex marriage, Proposition 8.

If the court chose to rule on the Proposition 8 case or DOMA, it could end up changing rules throughout the country pertaining to same-sex marriage -- an issue that remains as tumultuous as ever, changing at the state level through ballot initiatives, state-based legislation and through the courts.

Gay Marriage Before Supreme Court? Cases Weighed - ABC News

The running fight over gay marriage is shifting from the ballot box to the Supreme Court.

Three weeks after voters backed same-sex marriage in three states and defeated a ban in a fourth, the justices met Friday to discuss whether they should deal sooner rather than later with the claim that the Constitution gives people the right to marry regardless of sexual orientation.

The court also could duck the ultimate question for now and instead focus on a narrower but still important issue: whether Congress can prevent legally married gay Americans from receiving federal benefits otherwise available to married couples.

There was no announcement about the court's plans on Friday. The next opportunity for word on gay marriage cases is Monday, although the justices also could put off a decision until their next private meeting in a week's time. That will be their last meeting until January.

Funny we live in an era where gays are putting their lives to get married while heterosexual people are having kids out of wedlock at record rates.

You're a fukking moron. Your parents shouldn't have been allowed to reproduce.

:smh: Up until 1972 homoseuxaility was considered a mental disorder....:snoop: Why should marriage be extended to include the gay community...if that's the case we might as well throw bigamy in the bushes too. a civilized society must have standards :salute:

Homosexuality between men is the death penalty in Islam, i don't know for women. Homosexuality leads to the hellfire. Avoid the aids in the anus.
