LAFAYETTE, Ind.  —The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked by the Indiana attorney general’s office to review a federal appeals court’s ruling that sided with a gay married couple who challenged the state’s birth records law.

The Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reaffirmed a lower court’s ruling and sided with Ashlee and Ruby Henderson of Lafayette by finding that the state should recognize the couple’s children as their own.

The Hendersons, were married in 2014, and filed a lawsuit a year later after the Tippecanoe County Health Department denied them a birth certificate for their son with both of their names. They alleged that local and state health officials discriminated against them when county officials declined to put both of their names as parents on their son’s birth certificate.

The county at the time allowed only Ruby Henderson, the birth mother, to be listed as a parent.
