美國最高法院以5:4通過，現在全美50州的同性戀都可以結婚了!!!

大略翻譯：

Supreme Court Brings Marriage Equality To The Entire Country

最高法院將婚姻平權推往整個國家

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex couples across
the country have a constitutional right to marry, regardless of what state
they live in. This brings marriage equality to all of the states where
same-sex marriage bans were still in place or still being enforced to some
extent: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, Missouri,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Ohio, and Michigan. The precedent would also apply to U.S. territories,
including Puerto Rico.

9個大法官中，以5比4通過同性婚姻合法化。原本只有36六個州+哥倫比亞特區的同性戀可
以結婚，現在全美50州，包括保守的南部跟中西部州全部可以結婚了。

The decision in the case (Obergefell v. Hodges), unsurprisingly written by
Justice Anthony Kennedy, relies on the Equal Protection clause of the 14th
Amendment, which states, “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor
hall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.” If states allow people to marry people of the
opposite sex of their choice, they must allow people to make the same choice
for spouses of the same sex.
