Supreme Court Upholds Same-Sex Marriage Ruling Amid Legal Challenges
TL;DR
The Supreme Court declined to reconsider its landmark 2015 ruling that established the constitutional right to same-sex marriage, rejecting Kim Davis's bid to overturn the decision. Davis, a Kentucky county clerk, had refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples on religious grounds, leading to legal battles and a jury award for damages. The Court's decision affirms the continued validity of Obergefell v. Hodges and the constitutional protections for same-sex marriage.
