Same s*x Marriage Legalized In All 50 States Of America

 

The US Supreme Court on June 26th ruled that same-s*x marriages must be recognized in all 50 states of the United States of America. Texas will probably appeal.


  According To The Washington post The Supreme Court on Friday delivered a historic victory for gay rights, ruling 5 to 4 that the Constitution requires that same-s*x couples be allowed to marry no matter where they live and that states may no longer reserve the right only for heterosexual couples.

 The court’s action marks the culmination of an unprecedented upheaval in public opinion and the nation’s jurisprudence.

 Advocates called it the most pressing civil rights issue of modern times, while critics said the courts had sent the country into uncharted territory by changing the traditional definition of marriage.

 “Under the Constitution, same-s*x couples seek in marriage the same legal treatment as opposite-s*x couples, and it would disparage their choices and diminish their personhood to deny them this right,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion. 

 He was joined in the ruling by the court’s liberal justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. 

 All four of the court’s most conservative members — Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. — dissented and each wrote a separate opinion, saying the court had usurped a power that belongs to the people.
