A Christian law firm is making a last-ditch effort to convince the state's high court that businesses -- at least some of them -- have a constitutional right to refuse to sell their services and products to gays.

Saying lawmakers wrote what they meant, the state Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that the same-sex spouse of a woman who gave birth to a child is not entitled to a presumption she is a parent.

The same-sex spouse of a gay woman who has given birth is entitled to the same parental presumptions and rights as if she were a man, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.

The U.S. Supreme Court decided this year that gay marriages were legal nationwide, but American Indian reservations are not bound by the decision and many continue to forbid gay marriages and deny insurance and other benefits.

Lawyers who persuaded a judge nearly a year ago to overturn Arizona's same-sex marriage ban will receive $200,000 from the state to cover attorney fees and other costs in bringing the legal challenge.

The US Supreme Court today ruled that gay couples have a right to marry anywhere in America. The ruling ended bans on gay marriages that still stood in 14 states and upheld lower courts’ opinions striking down laws in states like Arizona that defined the union between a man and a woman.

Arguing it would strengthen rather than diminish the institution of marriage, a divided U.S. Supreme Court today ruled that same-sex couples have a right to marry anywhere in America.

The Supreme Court has declared that same-sex couples have a right to marry anywhere in the United States.

Justices peppered both sides with questions Tuesday as the Supreme Court grappled with a case that could legalize same-sex marriage in every state, two years after overturning a federal ban on such unions.

Many expect the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down state bans on gay marriage as unconstitutional, but even with such a monumental victory, gays in Arizona might still face legal and political hurdles.
