Supreme Court Rejects Same-Sex Marriage Appeals-Madhee Moseman P6


Supreme Court Rejects Same-Sex Marriage Appeals (Oct. 6): The U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear appeals of rulings in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin that allowed same-sex marriage. The move paves the way for same-sex marriages in the five states. In fact, Virginia announces that unions will begin that day.State legislatures have been deeply involved in the public debates about how to define marriage and whether the official recognition of “marriage” should be limited to relationships involving one man and one woman or that same-sex couples should also be entitled to “marriage.” State legislatures have gone both ways in this debate: most states have enacted “defense of marriage” laws limiting marriage to relationships between a man and a woman. More recently, state legislatures and courts have made decisions to allow same sex marriage.
 
 
 

 
It is a shame to see that this battle still continues. Unfortunately it will continue as long as enough people stand up to stop it. The day will come where most places in the world will accept this. We should be done with discrimination, but sadly it still continues.
