US Supreme Court declines to revisit same-sex marriage ruling
TL;DR
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case by Kim Davis, a former Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples on religious grounds, thereby upholding the 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The decision affirms that the constitutional right to marry for same-sex couples remains protected, despite ongoing efforts by some to overturn it.
