It’s official: The Supreme Court will hear AFER’ Prop. 8 case and a constitutional challenge to the DOMA brought by the ACLU. Meanwhile, support’s growing in Congress for a repealing the Defense of Marriage Act.

Here are a few highlights from Friday's announcement that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear AFER’s case challenging Proposition 8 and the ACLU’s case challenging the so-called Defense of Marriage Act.

The moment we have been fighting for has finally arrived. The U.S. Supreme Court just announced that they will hear our federal constitutional challenge to California’s Proposition 8.

In this week's episode of Marriage News Watch: More suspense from the Supreme Court, a setback in a Nevada lawsuit, and more news.

We may hear soon that our case has been redistributed for consideration at the Court’s next Conference, scheduled for this Friday, December 7. If this happens, we could get word from the Court that day, or the morning of Monday, December 10.

The Supreme Court today declined to take any action on AFER's federal court challenge to Proposition 8, or several challenges to the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

This year, we have much to be thankful for. Gay and lesbian couples will soon be able to get married in three more states. Earlier this year, California's Prop. 8 was ruled unconstitutional by the Ninth Circuit, paving the way for a final decision from the U.S. Supreme Court.
