US Supreme Court hears same-sex marriage arguments (Juliana Cortez Pd.3)
Outside the court, protestors gathered together in attempt to get others for same-sex marriage. During the proceeding they were interrupted by someone shouting that the justices would "Burn in hell" if they were to begin supporting gay marriage. Currently, 36 of he 50 US states allow same-sex couples to marry. Mr. Bursch, from his pat, argued that child-rearing is the central rationale for marriage. He believes that removing it would weaken people's commitments to stay together because of the Children they share. For many the issues is religious based " I'm not trying to be mean or ugly, it's just what God said", he stated as he started reciting biblical verses. While others believe that the issue has to due with States' rights. The justices are considering whether the US Constitution's 14th
Amendment require every state to give a marriage license to two people
of the same sex. They are also wondering whether the same amendment requires every state to recognize the marriage between two people of the same gender that was performed lawfully in another state. Today, same-sex couples can marry in 36 states and in the district of Washington.

I didn't realize 36 states were in support, that's fantastic! What a great reform!
