Marriage Equality Wins Big In The US

Today marks what will be remembered as a great day in US history. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled this morning that bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional everywhere in the country.

This means it will now be legal for same-sex couples to marry nationwide! While it was already legal in 36 states and D.C. the remaining 14 states will now have to put an end to their same-sex marriage bans and allow couples to marry. The decision came down to a 5-4 victory.

This battle has been hard fought and the win extremely overdue. Marriage equality has finally come to the United States.
