The Supreme Court said it will tackle the issue of same-sex marriage and hear two constitutional challenges to state and federal laws dealing with the recognition of gay and lesbian couples wishing to legally wed.

Oral arguments in the high court appeal will likely be held in March, with a ruling by late June.
