A new salvo fired in the Defensive Marriage Act with a third case now petitioning the Supreme Court for review. The Democratic National Committee could make history by adding marriage equality to the official party platform, and the mayor of Boston lashes out at Chick-fil-A. I'm Matt Baum at the American Foundation for Equal Rights and welcome to Marriage Newswatch for July 23, 2012. Yet another domicase is now headed to the U.S. Supreme Court this time it's the case of Edith Windsor, who was married, but taxed like a legal stranger when her wife passed away. The case is already seen Doma ruled unconstitutional once by a district court judge in New York. Ordinarily the next step would be in appeal, but Windsor's lawyers want to skip that and go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court. This would make the third case that's petitioning the for review in the court's next term. The other two are Gill and Massachusetts and Galinsky in California. In addition, the prop aid proponents are expected to petition the court at some point in the next two months, making for a fourth marriage case. We'll be keeping a close eye on all the domicases and we'll have a special episode of marriage newswatch when the prop aid proponents file their petition. Also on the horizon, our big change is the official Democratic Party platform. According to Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, marriage equality may be in the party's official platform for the first time this year. It's not a done deal just yet. First the draft in committee has to meet, which happens next weekend in Minneapolis. Then there's a final meeting in Detroit on August 10th to discuss the draft platform, and then it's finalized at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte in early September. And finally this week, there's renewed outcry over Chick-fil-A stance on marriage equality. For years, the organization has donated heavily to anti-gay groups and events. Now the president of the chain has explicitly stated his opposition to providing protections for gay families. In response, Boston Mayor Thomas Manino has promised to block the company's efforts to expand with the store along the Freedom Trail. No word yet on whether other municipalities will follow suit.
