Same-sex marriage is now legal in the US



A historical 5-4 ruling in Obergefell vs. Hodges has led the US Supreme Court officially declared that same-sex marriage is legal all 50 states. That's right. Gay marriage, which is the most important civil rights case in a generation, in the USA is now well and truly LEGAL, because those politicians who supported it pointed out that marriage equality is part of the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment.

It's not just the politicians who supported marriage equality that prompted the USA to legalize gay marriage, it's the LGBT community that rejoiced the historic decision, saying that "Love has won".

I'm amazed to see that a nation that was once referred to as the world superpower has welcomed the new age of equality as the ruling to make same-sex marriage constitutional would bring a greater good for the LGBT.

Congratulations America for making gay marriage constitutional nationwide.
