The Supreme Court hears arguments in the historic same-sex marriage case

The Supreme Court is due to rule on the constitutionality of same-sex marriage, a landmark ruling which could settle once and for all legal questions surrounding marriage for lesbians and gays.

In the federal system, 37 out of 50 states, plus the capital Washington, already allow same-sex marriage. Other states do not allow it, and do not recognize those marriages from other US states. (AFP)
