The US Supreme Court yesterday declared same sex legal marriages in all 50 States in the US.
Read what Justice Anthony Kennedy said:
"Under the Constitution, same-sex couples seek in marriage the same legal treatment as opposite-sex couples, and it would disparage their choices and diminish their personhood to deny them this right,".
According to Washington Post, Kennedy was joined in the ruling by the Supreme Court liberal justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
All four of the court's most conservative members - Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. - dissented and each wrote a separate opinion, saying the court had usurped a power that belongs to the people.
Gay couples all over the United States have declared today a day of celebration as they now have the right to move freely and do what normal couples do.
Meanwhile, Texas is planning to appeal the ruling.
