Oswego, NY – The state's hihgest court is hearing arguments in a case filed on behalf of gays and lesbians who have been denied marriage licenses.

As lawyers on both sides of the case argue in court, same sex partners statewide anxiously await the court decision.

WRVO's Elizabeth Christensen spoke to one such couple.
