It is a time for celebration! Five Supreme Court justices have legalized same-sex marriage in all fifty states. These couples can now enjoy:
- The ability to be with their partner in times of medical emergencies
- The opportunity to share the same health insurance policy
- Full benefits from Veteran Affairs and Social Security
- Medical leave benefits
According to Government Accountability Office (GAO) in 2004, these are just four of over 1,138 rights heterosexual couples have enjoyed all along. This is a major victory for civil rights and human dignity!
