SUMMARY:Same-Sex Marriage is Legalized in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION: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.  \n#LoveWins  \n#SCOTUSMarriage  \n#GayMarriage
