The U.S. Supreme Court’s arguments on marriage equality have come and gone. While we’re waiting for the court to rule, here are pieces by and about some of those most closely involved with marriage equality cases: the children of the plaintiffs.
- Kentucky dads Michael DeLeon Greg Bourke, who are among their Catholic parish’s most active members, get a nice profile at HuffPo.
- College student Tevin Johnson-Campion, the son of plaintiffs Randy Johnson and Paul Campion, has partnered with the ACLU to start a Tumblr, Making History with My Two Dads, to document his family’s journey in moving marriage forward. He also recently spoke with HuffPo Live about the case. BuzzFeed also has a nice profile of Tevin and his siblings.
- Mic introduces us to two-year-old Cooper Talmas-Vitale, the youngest of the plaintiffs and the son of Rob Talmas and Joe Vitale. Cooper’s adoption was finalized in New York, which recognizes his fathers’ marriage, but his birth state of Ohio refuses to issue a birth certificate naming them both as his parents.
- College student Kinsey Morrison’s parents weren’t plaintiffs, but Morrison contributed to the Family Equality Council’s “Voices of Children” amicus brief to the Supreme Court and was the youngest speaker at the United for Marriage Equality rally in Washington, D.C., last week. She explains to TIME magazine, “My Moms Have Been Engaged for 20 Years. We’re Tired of Waiting.”
- Finally, Annie Goodridge, a college student and daughter of Julie and Hillary Goodridge, plaintiffs in the groundbreaking 2003 Massachusetts case that saw marriage equality in the United States for the first time, writes at USA Today about what marriage equality has meant for her and her family.
