The US Supreme Court today 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.
People jubilating after the ruling
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.
