On June 26, 2015, gay marriage was legalized in the United States. The supreme court ruled 5-4 that it is legal for all Americans to marry, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. This is because of the 14th amendment, which states that all US citizens have “equal protection of the law”. Prior to this, only 37 of the 50 states allowed gay marriage. The picture displays a Massachusetts newspaper headline after the supreme court decision was made.
