They announced that they WOULD hear certain cases, and on Monday they will announce which of the remaining cases they are denying certiorari to (refusing to hear), which means that they are going to let the lower court's decision stand in those cases.

I'm starting to think it's unlikely that they will deny certiorari, though, because there are four anti-marriage Justices on the Court, and it only takes four of the nine to agree to hear a case.
