Marriage supporters to rally in Washington, D.C., on March 26 as Supreme Court hears cases
by John Burger
Supporters of both traditional marriage and same-sex unions will converge on the nation’s capital this week as the Supreme Court takes up two cases that could do to marriage what Roe v. Wade did to unborn human life.
The National Organization for Marriage is holding a March for Marriage on Tuesday morning, March 26, as the high court hears oral arguments in the first case, a challenge to California’s Proposition 8, which changed that state’s constitution to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Arguments are expected to be heard the next day in a case contesting the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Read more…
Next week, the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments about Proposition 8 and DOMA. The New York Times is offering to answer your questions about these cases.There’s really only one question that needs an answer: What is marriage?

Nope. All infertilities are not equal. There is a crucial difference between an infertile heterosexual union and an impotent homosexual one.
Next week, the US Supreme Court will begin its deliberations on the contentious issue of same-sex marriage. One of the two cases it will hear concerns California’s Proposition 8, an approved state constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman.

Interestingly, though, the dispute at the heart of the DOMA case could have been avoided had Congress enacted fairer tax reform years ago. Read more…
