Same-sex married couples can be listed as father, mother on birth certificate, Supreme Court rules
 
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Monday, June 26, 2017

Arkansas cannot refuse to list both names of same-sex married parents on a baby’s birth certificate just because one of them is not a biological parent, the Supreme Court ruled Monday, in a decision that suggests the extent to which the justices will push their 2015 decision on same-sex marriage equality.

Arkansas had resisted, arguing that the birth certificate was a record of parentage for the child rather than a document about the marriage.
