Testimony Given Over Same-Sex Marriage Ban

U.S. Supreme Court justices Tuesday heard more than two hours of oral arguments over same-sex marriage lawsuits that involve two Hazel Park women.

April DeBoer and her partner Jayne Rowse are optimistic about their chances. Their case challenging Michigan’s ban on gay marriage is linked with cases from Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, a likely swing vote, posed tough questions to lawyers on both sides. Chief Justice John Roberts questioned whether it’s the court’s role to decide the issue, once and for all.

A ruling is expected by late June.

Same-sex couples can now get married in more than 35 states and Washington, DC.
