The SCOTUS has added FRIDAY to it's 'opinion release' calendar

June 26th... gee, that date sounds familiar...

In 2003 --- The SCOTUS released the Lawrence v. Texas decision, which struck down 'sodomy laws' from all states, thus decriminalizing LGBTs sex-lives in states where such laws had been used as grounds for descrimination and prosecutions.

In 2013 --- The SCOTUS released its decisions on United States v. Windsor and Hollingsworth v. Perry.
The first struck down section 3 of the federal DOMA... The second, nailed the coffin shut on California's infamous "Proposition 8"

and presumably next Monday, so they must feel they need the extra day to announce the remaining seven cases. I wonder which ones will be last.
