are Greg Bourke and Michael De Leon.
They married in 2004 in Canada.
In 2013, they sued then-Governor Steve Beshear over the state's refusal to recognize their marriage.
Within two years their case was brought to the supreme court, joined by other couples from across the country.
Finally, on June 26, 2015, the highest court ruled in their favor. The justices found the Fourteenth Amendment requires a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out of State.
One justice swung the vote in a 5-4 decision based on the Fourteenth Amendment.
