when will supreme court rule on gay marriage

Direct answer: At the moment, the Supreme Court has not issued a ruling on whether to hear challenges to Obergefell or any potential changes to the same- sex marriage precedent. The Court held a private conference on Friday, November 7, 2025, to decide which petitions to accept for review, and as of now there has been no public opinion or order indicating a forthcoming ruling on the merits of gay marriage or on revisiting Obergefell. Decisions on whether to grant certiorari and any subsequent rulings typically follow within days to weeks after the conference, but timing can vary and, in some cases, may take longer. For up-to-date specifics, checking reputable outlets that cover the Court’s certiorari announcements (e.g., major wire services) around the first business day after the conference is recommended.
