De Leon v. Perry
''De Leon v. Perry'' is a federal lawsuit challenging Texas marriage law, specifically the state's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage and corresponding statutes. A U.S. district court ruled in favor of the plaintiff same-sex couples on February 26, 2014, granting their motion for a preliminary injunction. The state defendants filed an interlocutory appeal, as the disposition on the motion was not a final ruling in the case. The case is currently before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, where the plaintiffs' motion for an expedited hearing was denied on May 21, 2014. The plaintiffs filed another motion for an expedited hearing and it was granted on October 7, 2014 after the Supreme Court of the United States denied appeals on other marriage equality cases on October 6, 2014.
The Fifth Circuit heard oral argument on January 9, 2015. The case was still pending in the Fifth Circuit when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 26, 2015, in ''Obergefell v. Hodges'' that the denial of marriage rights to same-sex couples is unconstitutional. On July 1, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court judgment in favor of the plaintiffs.
==Background==
Article I, Section 32 of the Constitution of Texas, added via referendum as Proposition 2 on November 8, 2005, specifically banned same-sex marriage by definition: "Marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman."
Plaintiffs in the case are an unmarried gay couple who wish to marry in-state, and a lesbian couple lawfully married in Massachusetts wanting in-state recognition of that marriage. The lead named plaintiff, Cleopatra De Leon, is a U.S. Air Force and Texas Air National Guard veteran, and in a committed relationship with her wife for 12 years at the time of the filing of the suit. On the other end, the lead named defendant is Rick Perry, sued in his official capacity as the Governor of Texas.
