Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Supreme Court rules in favor of same-sex
marriage nationwide
Historic judgement has just been made in
the U.S.A. It has just become the 21st country to legalize same-sex marriage
nationwide. Until this ruling, 37 out of 50 states had already allowed gay
marriage, hence the remaining 13 states are the ones actually affected. It is also
historical because the ruling was made by five judges in favor and four against.
Now all married same-sex couples can enjoy
the same legal rights and benefits as married heterosexual couples anywhere in
the country and are recognized on official documents such as birth and death
certificates. For example, a gay couple can adopt a child in some of the
states.
It took about a half century to recognize
gay couples’ right after banning racial discrimination in America. It is indeed
historical, isn’t it?
Enjoy reading and learning how significant
this new ruling is for Americans.
