 More suspense from the Supreme Court with an announcement in the Prop 8 case pushed back to Friday at the earliest. Meanwhile, a setback in a Nevada lawsuit, but now the case goes to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. That court previously ruled in favor of marriage equality in the Prop 8 case. And with a string of losses and plummeting poll numbers, anti-gay groups are quickly running out of donors. At the American Foundation for Equal Rights, I'm Matt Baume, and welcome to Marriage News Watch for December 3, 2012. Once again, there's no word from the Supreme Court about the Prop 8 case, or the multiple cases involving the Federal Defense of Marriage Act. All of those cases have been reconferenced for this coming Friday, the 7th. That means we may get word the following Monday, December 10. This ongoing suspense is difficult for everyone, but it's particularly agonizing for the thousands of gay and lesbian couples who are waiting to find out whether they can get married. Meanwhile, the wait is nearly over in Maine. This week, the state announced that couples can begin getting marriage licenses on December 29. But there's a catch. While there's no waiting period for marriage in Maine, December 29 is a Saturday. It's unclear whether there will be special hours to accommodate the beginning of marriage, but more details are expected soon. And there's been a temporary setback in Nevada, a federal judge ruled in the Sevchuk vs. Sandoval case that there is a legitimate government interest in limiting marriage to heterosexual couples. And illegal plans to appeal the ruling to the Ninth Circuit, a court that has proven relatively receptive to marriage equality in the past. Earlier this year, the Ninth Circuit upheld a ruling that found Prop 8 to be unconstitutional. Meanwhile, organizers in Illinois are planning a massive field organization. With new offices in Westmount and Springfield, Equality Illinois plans to lobby lawmakers to pass a marriage bill in the coming 2013 session. And new polling in Michigan shows a majority supports the freedom to marry. This continues a trend over the last year and a half in Michigan with support steadily climbing and opposition dropping. That mirrors the trend nationally. A new survey this week from CBS shows 51% of Americans support the freedom to marry with 41% opposed. This is the 18th national survey to show majority support. And that steady climate support isn't just apparent in polling. You can also see it in fundraising, with donors to anti-gay groups growing increasingly scarce. A new investigation by the Human Rights Campaign shows that in 2011, the national organization for marriage had only two major donors, making up 75% of the anti-gay group's budget. In 2011, NOM raised $6.2 million, compared to $9.1 million in 2010. This year, NOM suffered defeat in all four states with marriage on the ballot. We look forward to seeing the effect that their losing streak will have on NOM's ability to retain donors in the future. And we'll be getting news from the Supreme Court any day now.
