America Legalises Gay Marriage
The US Supreme Court made same-sex marriage legal throughout the nation
Friday in a much-awaited landmark decision that triggered wild
jubilation and tears of joy.
In a 5-4 ruling, the highest court in the United States said the Constitution requires all 50 states to carry out and recognize marriage between people of the same sex.
President Barack Obama, in heartfelt remarks, praised the ruling as “a victory for America.” The court decision marked a fresh coup for the White House, coming a day after the Supreme Court upheld an important and disputed section of the president’s signature health care reform.
