Same-sex marriage

同性婚姻(tongxing hunyin)

On Friday, the Supreme Court of the Untied States legalized same-sex marriage. The court ruled 5-4 that the US Constitution's guarantee of due process and equal protection under the law means that individual states cannot ban same-sex marriage. It is regarded as a historic triumph for the American lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights movement. The US has become the 21st country to legalize same-sex marriage worldwide.
