This anger gave way to action . Edith the Supreme Court and Thea Spyer met in New York and were together 2007 . They could n't legally marry in the New York , but they did tie the knot in 2007 in Toronto . When Thea Clara Spyer died , Windsor paid a large inheritance tax -- then fought it in court . A court rules their union was valid ; the Supreme Court will take up the case 2007 .
