Arguments regarding Michigan’s ban on same-sex marriage are just over two weeks away.
A group of cases before the US Supreme Court come from the Cincinnati-based 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals, which has been the only federal appellate court to uphold state bans on same-sex marriage, since the federal anti-gay marriage law was struck down two years ago.
Michigan‘s case is one of four scheduled that day.
In Michigan’s case, April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse challenged the Michigan law which effectively bars them from jointly adopting their three children. The case was later expanded to also include same-sex marriage.
Arguments are scheduled for April 28th. A decision by the court is expected some time in June.
