Topic Reading-Vol.1175-6/30/2015

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.
