Celebrities are voicing their thoughts as the United States Supreme Court hears arguments on the constitutionality of Proposition 8, California’s ban on same-sex marriage.

On Tuesday, the Court heard arguments from both sides, with two California couples saying the ban violates the Constitution’s equal protection clause, while defenders of the ban argue that states should be able to decide for themselves whether they will permit gay marriage.

The hearing will continue on Wednesday.
