America Legalises Gay Marriage

The US Supreme Court made same-sex marriage legal throughout the nation Friday in a much-awaited landmark decision that triggered wild jubilation and tears of joy.

In a 5-4 ruling, the highest court in the United States said the Constitution requires all 50 states to carry out and recognize marriage between people of the same sex.


President Barack Obama, in heartfelt remarks, praised the ruling as “a victory for America.”

The ruling made the United States the 21st country or territory in the world that recognizes same-sex marriage as legal.
