Linea Abierta - English Description - Show in Spanish show

Summary: SUPREME COURT TO CONSIDER GAY MARRIAGE. The Supreme Court has decided to consider the constitutionality of two laws regarding same-sex marriage. One is California’s Proposition 8, which sought to ban same-sex marriage. The other is the Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples. What are the possible outcomes of the Supreme Court decisions? And how do Latinos view same-sex marriage?
