US Supreme Court declines to hear Indiana’s appeal; same-sex couples can be on birth certs

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an Indiana case involving same-sex couples and the birth certificates of their children.
The high court’s decision means a lower court’s ruling will stand that allows the names of same-sex couples to be listed as parents on their children’s birth certificates.
Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill had petitioned the court after the U.S. 7[SUP]th[/SUP] Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a decision from Indiana’s federal Southern District court that determined Indiana laws limiting who could be called a parent were unconstitutional.
“We are disappointed the Court declined to take up the case,” said Solicitor General Tom Fisher in a statement.
