From Workplace Prof. Blog:

The Ninth Circuit affirmed the grant of a preliminary injunction yesterday against the State of Arizona, requiring it to continue to provide workers in same sex intimate relationships the employee benefits provided to employees in opposite sex intimate relationships. The decision, Diaz v. Brewer, blocks a state law that would have removed those benefits for same sex couples.
