The Supreme Court had five same-sex marriage cases before it this term, all vying to be the one. There was the Utah case (Herbert v. Kitchen), in which three same-sex couples sought to overturn a statewide vote banning gay marriage. There was the Virginia case (Rainey v. Bostic), which began when two men who've been together for nearly 25 years sought a marriage license in Norfolk. Then there was an Oklahoma case (dating all the way back to a 2004 lawsuit), an Indiana case (filed just earlier this year) and one in Wisconsin (representing eight more couples seeking state recognition).
