INTRODUCTION. Early in 2015, the Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal of a decision in which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit had upheld the laws in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee that define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Massachusetts construes the term civil marriage to mean the voluntary union of two persons as spouses . . . . See Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, 440 Mass. 309, 343 (2003). Thus the term marriage includes same-sex marriage, and the term spouse includes partners in a same-sex marriage.
