Musicians react to same-sex marriage ruling
Today, June 26, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled same-sex marriage legal nationwide. Before this, same-sex marriages were only allowed in 37 states, along with Washington, D.C.
“No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family,” writes Justice Anthony Kennedy, who joined the court's liberals in the majority opinion (via Vox). “[The challengers] ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.”
