supreme-court-DOMA-Prop-8-ruling-scenarios

 

Very soon (within the week), the U.S. Supreme Court will decide two landmark cases concerning same-sex marriage—Hollingsworth v. Perry (a challenge to Proposition 8, California’s same-sex marriage ban) and United States v. Windsor (a challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, which bars the federal government from recognizing state-sanctioned same-sex marriages). The Human Rights Campaign created an easy-to-follow graphic that outlines possible outcomes and what they would mean for our community.
