Question: Which court case reached a higher court, Cohen v. California or Goodridge v. Department of Public Health?
Context: Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971), was a United States Supreme Court case dealing with freedom of speech.  The Court overturned a man's conviction for the crime of disturbing the peace for wearing a jacket in the public corridors of a courthouse that displayed the phrase, "Fuck the Draft". Goodridge v. Dept. of Public Health, 798 N.E.2d 941 (Mass. 2003), is a landmark state appellate court case dealing with same-sex marriage in Massachusetts.  The November 18, 2003, decision was the first by a U.S. state's highest court to find that same-sex couples had the right to marry.  Despite numerous attempts to delay the ruling, and to reverse it, the first marriage licenses were issued to same-sex couples on May 17, 2004, and the ruling has been in full effect since that date. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Massachusetts have the same rights and responsibilities as heterosexuals.  In 2004, it became the first U.S. state to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the decision in "Goodridge v. Department of Public Health". 35 Bar and Grille LLC, et al. v.  The City of San Antonio was a court case in U.S. District court.  The case addressed a city ordinance about the amount of bodily coverage needed by semi-nude dancers in San Antonio, Texas.  The case reached notoriety in international press when the press discovered that Chief U.S. District Judge Fred Biery's April 29, 2013 order denying a motion for a preliminary injunction was full of puns and double entendres about stripping and sexuality.  During its press coverage, the case was also known by the humorous title applied to the judge's opinion of the case, The Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Bikini Top v The (More) Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Pastie (a reference to the song "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini"). Same-sex marriage has been legally recognized in Massachusetts since May 17, 2004, as a result of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) ruling in "Goodridge v. Department of Public Health" that it was unconstitutional under the Massachusetts constitution to allow only opposite-sex couples to marry.  Massachusetts became the sixth jurisdiction in the world (after the Netherlands, Belgium, Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec) to legalize same-sex marriage.  It was the first U.S. state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Kerrigan v. Commissioner of Public Health, 289 Conn. 135, 957 A.2d 407, is a 2008 decision by the Connecticut Supreme Court holding that allowing same-sex couples to form same-sex unions but not marriages violates the Connecticut Constitution.  It was the third time that a ruling by the highest court of a U.S. state legalized same-sex marriage, following Massachusetts in "Goodridge v. Department of Public Health" (2003) and California in "In re Marriage Cases" (2008).  This case legalized same-sex marriage in Connecticut. Gay Lib v. University of Missouri, 558 F. 2d 848 (8th Cir.  1977) was a court case in 1977 about discrimination in student group recognition at state universities, namely the University of Missouri.  The case reached the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.  The courts determined that "the University, acting here as an instrumentality of the State, has no right to restrict speech or association 'simply because it finds the views expressed to be abhorrent'." The Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) is an independent agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit schools of public health and public health programs offered in settings other than schools of public health.  These schools and programs prepare students for entry into careers in public health.  The primary professional degree is the Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) but other master's and doctoral degrees are offered as well such as the Doctor of Public Health (DrPH). Gonzales v. Carhart, 550 U.S. 124 (2007), is a United States Supreme Court case that upheld the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003.  The case reached the high court after U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales appealed a ruling of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in favor of LeRoy Carhart that struck down the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.  Also before the Supreme Court was the consolidated appeal of Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which had struck down the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. MassEquality is a Boston-based organization that seeks to promote LGBT rights in the U.S. Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  It supported the implementation of "Goodridge v. Department of Public Health", the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court's 2003 decision that legalized same-sex marriage, and opposed efforts to adopt an amendment to the Massachusetts Constitution seeking to limit the impact of or annul the ruling.
