Two key rulings from the Supreme Court today on same-sex marriage.

The court decided that same-sex spouses are entitled to the same federal benefits as heterosexual spouses, and the court also dismissed California's Propostion 8 appeal, clear the way for same-sex marriages to resume in that state.

It wasn't an absolute victory for gay right advocates.

The high court also declined to make a sweeping statement on the broader issue of same-sex marriage rights nationwide.

Supporters were quick to applaud the court's decision.

"Today the United States Supreme Court in two important decisions brings us that much closer to true equality," Attorney for Prop 8 Plaintiffs, David Boies said.
