Supreme Court: Same-Sex Couples Can Marry In All 50 States

Supreme Court: Same-Sex Couples Can Marry In All 50 States - foxnews.com

Excerpt from this article:

"The Supreme Court ruled Friday that same-sex couples have a right to marry nationwide, in a historic decision that invalidates gay marriage bans in more than a dozen states. 
Gay and lesbian couples already can marry in 36 states and the District of Columbia. But in a 5-4 ruling, the court held that the 14th Amendment requires states to issue marriage licenses for same-sex couples and to recognize such marriages performed in other states. 
The ruling means the remaining 14 states that did not allow such unions, in the South and Midwest, will have to stop enforcing their bans.

Someone asked the question: What does a 5-4 vote by the Supreme Court mean? The answer was thins: The law of the land! As Christians we are commanded by our Lord Jesus to obey the law of the land - in almost every situation. To find out the few exceptions, please listen to Dr. David P. Murray's great sermon:
