Β Same-sex marriage is now legal in all 50 state. Β The Supreme Court issued its historic opinion Friday, which led to celebrations in Washington and across the country.
The Supreme Court was divided on the issue in a 5-4 split decision. Β Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion, saying: “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family… In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than they once were. Β They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. Β The Constitution grants them that right.”
President Obama also spoke out about Friday’s ruling, saying: “This ruling will strengthen all of our communities by offering to all loving, same-sex couples the dignity of marriage across this great land.”
