Same-Sex Marriage is Legalized in the U.S.
June 26
Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) was the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, ruling that the Fourteenth Amendment requires all states to license marriages between same-sex couples and recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, guaranteeing equal dignity and fundamental rights under the law. Authored by Justice Kennedy, the 5-4 decision found bans on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, establishing marriage equality as a fundamental right for all couples, not just opposite-sex couples.
