The Supreme Court Justices will decide whether same-sex marriages performed in states where they are already legal, like here in Nevada, must be recognized in states where they are not.
Locals rallied Tuesday night in support of legalizing it not just here, but throughout the entire United States.
Advocates for this cause say that their efforts aren't over until it's finally accepted in all states.
Same-sex couples like Karen Goody and her partner Karen Vibe have been in this fight since the beginning.
Back in October gay marriage was legalized in Nevada, and today they are married.
"We're celebrating the fact that they took it on today and if we can look forward to the possibility of every couple having that choice to get married and be as happy as we are,” said Karen Goody.
But both say the battle isn't over just because it's legal in Nevada.
"We still have 13 states that don't recognize our marriage and so there's always that possibility that not only can states flip flop in the positive, they can also go back to the negative,” said Karen Vibe.
To find out what exactly the Supreme Court's decision could mean for Nevada, we took it to an expert.
"If the Supreme Court issues a ruling saying no we're not going to hold that there is a right under the Constitution to enter into a same sex marriage, and we're instead going to hold that each state gets to make up its own mind, then the law in Nevada could very well change,” said Shannon Pierce, an attorney here in Reno.
If the high court does choose to leave it up to the state, opponents of same-sex marriage could push for a ban in Nevada.
"If that ban passes, what happens to those folks that got married at a time when the ban didn't exist? Will their marriages be grandfathered in? Or not, there's so many questions that will have to be answered,” said Pierce.
A decision is expected by June 20th, which is the last day of the court's term.
