SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage are rallying in Utah on Tuesday after the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments on the constitutionality of laws banning such marriages.
Opponents of gay marriage are holding a 7 p.m. rally at Utah's state Capitol. Organizers are inviting rally attendees to show up at the "Stand for Marriage" rally wearing pink and blue to support laws defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
Supporters of same-sex marriage are holding their own rally in Salt Lake City around 5 p.m. on State Street near 1500 South. They plan to hold signs and encourage drivers to honk in support of gay marriage.
Utah's voter-approved ban on gay marriage was overturned in 2013. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case last year, effectively legalizing gay marriage in Utah.
