SCOTUS to Hear Marriage Arguments Today

[Content Note: Homophobia.]

Today, the US Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Obergefell v. Hodges, one of several same-sex marriage cases brought to the Court.

Obergefell v. Hodges requires the Court to answer: "1) Does the Fourteenth Amendment require a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex? 2) Does the Fourteenth Amendment require a state to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-state?"

The Washington Post has information on the lawyers who will be making the arguments.

SCOTUSblog will be liveblogging the oral arguments.

I don't have a lot to say right now, except to reiterate my unreserved support for the legalization of same-sex marriage.

I desperately hope that SCOTUS gets this right.
