Federal Court Prepares For Oral Arguments In Same Sex Marriage Case

Last updated on Thursday, May 1, 2014

(EVANSVILLE ) - A federal court in Evansville will hear oral arguments Friday in a same-sex marriage case.

Attorneys will ask the court to compel Indiana to continue to recognize the marriage of a lesbian couple from Munster, as well as to extend the freedom to marry to all Indiana same-sex couples.

Friday's arguments are the latest chapter in Baskin v. Bogan, the federal lawsuit Lambda Legal filed in March in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana on behalf of five Indiana same-sex couples seeking to overturn Indiana's discriminatory marriage ban.
