2015 – SUPREME COURT LEGALIZES SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IN ALL 50 STATES

The Supreme Court made history by legalizing same-sex marriage on June 26, 2015 during the Obergefell v. Hodges case. Obama, at the time, called the case ruling “a victory for America.” President Obama told NPR the ruling “will strengthen all of our communities” by offering dignity and equal status to all same-sex couples and their families.

 Freshman Avery McCracken approves of the legality of same-sex marriage around the U.S. “I think love is love and people should respect that,” McCracken said.
