Marriage Equality Wins Out! Supreme Court Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage Nationwide – Get The Details

Gay rights activists can finally celebrate long-awaited good news: the Supreme Court has legalized gay marriage nationwide!
With same-sex marriages legal in 36 states and the District of Columbia already, the ruling does not come as a total shock, though perhaps later than many would have liked.
This was the second time same-sex marriage has been addressed by the Court. The first time, in 2013, the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was struck down, allowing the US government to recognize same-sex marriages in states where they were already legal.
Now, the remaining 14 states in the South and Midwest regions can no longer ban gay marriage.
