The Supreme Court could finally put the question of same-sex marriage to rest next year. The Supreme Court will hear arguments in California’s Prop 8 case Hollingsworth v. Perry, and the federal Defense of Marriage Act also known as DOMA.

Prop 8 was a voter-approved referendum to ban same-sex marriage despite state court rulings allowing the unions. The Defense of Marriage Act denies federal benefits to same-sex couples legally married in their own states.

“This is a major event in American history, not just in Supreme Court history.” said CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin in an article on CNN.com. The Supreme Court is not just going to decide whether the Defense of Marriage Act is constitutional, they are also going to decide whether Proposition 8 in California whether the ban on same-sex marriage there is unconstitutional and that could affect all 50 states.”
