The Supreme Court announced Friday that it will decide whether same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry everywhere in America.
The cases will be argued in April and a decision is expected by late June.
Sue O'Connell, co-publisher of Bay Windows, and former Massachusetts treasurer, Joe Malone, joined Jim Braude on Broadside to discuss the news.
With 70% of Americans living in a state where gay marriage is legal, it's more than likely that the cases will get a national stamp of approval, O'Connell explains in referencing the 14th amendment. The amendment says every citizen of the land must be treated fairly from state to state.
Malone feels that both republicans and democrats are more than ready to make decision on the controversial issue.
"I believe the court will rule that gay marriage throughout the country is legal," said Malone.
Both guests went on to discuss the 2015 Oscar nominees, Thursday's I-93 protest and Boston 2024, among other top stories that made headlines this past week.
