		<description>The Supreme Court of the United States just released a list of the appeals that it has agreed to hear before next summer (which is referred to as granting certiorari).

It does not include any of the cases that LGBT activists were watching.

With respect to the Proposition 8 appeal, the Brewer v Diaz appeal and the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) appeal, that means the court will likely announce on Monday October 1 that it will not hear those appeals. 

If so, that would mean that same-sex couples wil again be able to marry in California, and that NOM may have to disclose the donors to its anti-gay campaigns in Maine. 

It would also mean that the Diaz appeal in the Court of Appeal will continue; that appeal was still in progress even as the case was being considered by the Supreme Court.  

With respect to the Windsor DOMA case, which was also considered by the court yesterday, I expectvthat the omission of that case from the latest list means either that the court will announce on Oct. 1 that it has agreed to hear that appeal, or that it has postponed a decision on that case until it can also consider three other DOMA cases that are in the pipeline, but were not considered yesterday. (There ia also a chance that the Proposition 8 appeal was similarly postponed, though that seems less likely.)
