US court approves same sex marriage nationwide

The United States Supreme Court on Friday delivered a
historic ruling legalising same sex marriage across the
country.
In the historic judgement, Justice Anthony Kennedy said
gays, like every normal human, have the right to be
happy.
She said, “No union is more profound than marriage, for
it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion,
sacrifice and family. In forming a marital union, two
people become something greater than they once were.
“Their hope is not to be condemned to live in
loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest
institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of
the law. The Constitution grants them that right.”
Friday’s Supreme Court ruling now makes the US the
21st country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage
across its territory. Following the latest development,
couples of same gender would now be accorded every
rights and privileges enjoyed by normal unions.
Reacting to the development, President Barack Obama
congratulated the gay community in the US, saying the
ruling had changed the country.
“I just wanted to say congratulations. Americans should
be very proud, because small acts of courage slowly
made an entire country realise that love is love. The
situation has changed our country,” he said.
