Today in Marriage Equality
Oct. 6th, 2014 10:33 amThe Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has elected to deny review any of the five pending marriage equality cases, allowing same-sex marriage to proceed in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Analysis of the decision suggests that the justices do not intent to revisit their decision last term which paved the way for marriage equality by overturning California's Proposition 8 ban until a Federal Appeals court upholds a state ban.
Today's action brings the number of marriage equality states from 19 to 24, plus the District of Columbia.
