Social Security benefits are just one of many benefits that same-sex couples are denied if they live in one of the 14 states that don't recognize their marriages.
The case that Attorneys David Boise and Ted Olsen argued in front of the Supreme Court, commonly known as the Windsor case, centered around estate taxes.
Yes that Ted Olsen is the same Ted Olsen that represented George W Bush in the Florida recount case in front of the Supreme Court.
