U.S. Supreme Court Considers Same Sex Marriage Case
March 26, 2013--The U.S. Supreme Court justices heard oral arguments in Hollingsworth v. Perry (>), considering the broad question of "whether the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the State of California from defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman" and the more narrow question of the plaintiffs' standing. The controversial issue brought out supporters and opponents of same sex marriage.
