In this photo provided by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Pope Francis washes the foot of an inmate at the juvenile detention center of Casal del Marmo, Rome, Thursday, March 28, 2013. Francis washed the feet of a dozen inmates at a juvenile detention center in a Holy Thursday ritual that he celebrated for years as archbishop and is continuing now that he is pope. Two of the 12 were young women, an unusual choice given that the rite re-enacts Jesus' washing of the feet of his male disciples. The Mass was held in the Casal del Marmo facility in Rome, where 46 young men and women currently are detained. Many of them are Gypsies or North African migrants, and the Vatican said the 12 selected for the rite weren't necessarily Catholic. (Photo by L'Osservatore Romano/AP Photo)

Edie Windsor, plaintiff in the hearing against the Defense of Marriage Act, celebrates after arguments outside the Supreme Court in Washington on March 27, 2013. When Edith Windsor got engaged in the 1960s to the woman who eventually became her wife she asked for a pin instead of a ring. A ring would have meant awkward questions, she said: Who is he? And when do we meet him? On Wednesday, the 83-year-old stood in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, the face of a case that could change how the U.S. government treats married gay couples.
