FILES-US-POLITICS-JUSTICE-COURT
(FILES) The US Supreme Court is seen on Capitol Hill on June 29, 2010 in Washington, DC. The US Supreme Court on January 18, 2011 let stand a law authorizing homosexual marriage in Washington, DC rejecting a challenge from activists opposed to same-sex marriage. The top US court without comment turned down a petition from a group of residents seeking to put gay marriage to a city-wide referendum. The high court decision, a blow to anti-gay marriage interests, came as another high profile case on the legal status of same-sex marriage in California, churned through the US legal system. It was the second time the high court has rejected a challenge to the gay marriage law in the capital district, which along with Iowa, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont authorizes same-sex marriages.
