Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) released the following statement regarding the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to not review several cases involving the definition of marriage:

"I am disappointed by the Supreme Court's refusal to take up Utah's marriage appeal today. I personally believe that marriage is between one man and one woman and believe that Utahns have the right to decide what’s best for Utah. I am disappointed that the Supreme Court has failed to provide certainty and clarity for Utahns on this issue.”
