Today is a great day to be alive. The time has finally come! Its official the USA Supreme Court has finally legalized gay marriage for the entire country. It only took them a ridiculously long amount of time. The US Supreme Court won just slightly with a ruling of 5-4 last Friday.
This decision is remarkable. The fight for gay rights has been going on for a very long time and hasn’t been taken seriously. Gay pride has become larger since the Stonewall Riots of 1969 that happened in New York City.
It’s great that this was announced and declared in June which is recognized as LGBT pride month around the world. The move is a major step forward for Equal rights in the U.S.
Huffington Post clarifies the amendment by outlining,
“Thirty-seven states and the District of Columbia already recognize marriage equality. The remaining 13 states ban these unions, even as public support has reached record levels nationwide.
The justices found that under the 14th Amendment, states must issues marriage licenses to same-sex couples and recognize same-sex unions that were legally performed in other states.”
The White House Blog has been heating up as the Obama Administration weighs in on this historic decision. Read more here. President Obama said this morning that the ruling was a “Victory for America”. Obama even called a same-sex marriage plaintiff right after today’s ruling.
