Supreme Court Makes Same-Sex Marriage Legal Nationwide (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that gay marriage is now the law of the land. States now must allow same sex couples to marry and they must respect same sex marriages from other states. That means 14 states that don’t allow same sex marriage now have to fall in line with the others. The majority decision was written by Justice Kennedy, just as he did in the court’s previous three major gay rights cases dating back to 1996. Chief Justice Roberts wrote the dissent. We’ll unpack it all. This hour On Point: Same-sex marriage, law of the land.
