Same-Sex Marriage Before the Supreme Court
Today, as the US Supreme Court’s 2012-2013 term ends, rulings on two cases relating to same-sex marriage are expected to be announced. Larry Buchanan designed these interactive maps for The New Yorker to show the possible outcomes of the various combinations of rulings the Court might make. Click on the various “if” statements with each map and read what each possibility would mean. The result is described on the right of each combination.
