Happy Friday!
In some of the best news you’ll hear all day, in a 5-to-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage is legal nationwide!
That’s right — now EVERYONE can get married!
The official ruling was that refusing the right to allow marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples was a violation of the Constitution.

Most of the nation was already on board with same-sex marriage as 70 percent of the nation allowed it.
However, this new ruling forces the remaining 14 — Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas — to overturn their ban on gay marriage!
This is a HUGE win! This ruling is a game changer as it is one of the first MAJOR changes to the law since the court struck down bans on interracial marriage over 50 years ago!
