Virginia is a part of the 4th Circuit, which
also includes MD, WV, NC and SC.

that its ban on same-sex mar-
riage was unconstitutional.

SCOTUS refused to hear appeals in
Bostic v. Schaefer, resulting in imme-
diate marriage equality in VA.
A federal judge ruled that
NCs ban was unconstitu-
tional.
Colleen Condon and Nichols Bleckley outside
the Attorney Generals Office after receiving
their marriage license in Charleston, SC.
This lawsuit will bring same-sex couples
in South Carolina one step closer to the
right to marry, which has repeatedly
been upheld as a fundamental right by
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Why does SCOTUS deciding NOT to hear
an appeal from Virginia translate into
marriage equality for South Carolina ?
TIMELINE
Condon v. Haley builds on the work of Bradacs v. Haley,
which seeks recognition for a same-sex marriage granted
DC. SC Equality filed a lawsuit with the Federal District
Court of Charleston asking the court to declare that
same-sex couples have the right to marry in South Carolina.
