The Supreme Court on Friday delivered a historic victory for gay rights,
ruling 5 to 4 that the Constitution requires that same-sex couples be allowed
to marry no matter where they live and that states may no longer reserve the
right only for heterosexual couples.
The court’s action marks the culmination of an unprecedented upheaval in
public opinion and the nation’s jurisprudence. Advocates called it the most
pressing civil rights issue of modern times, while critics said the courts had
sent the country into uncharted territory by changing the traditional
definition of marriage.
