美国同性婚姻合法化

On June 26, 2015, the US Supreme Court made ahistoric ruling that caught the world’s attention.Same-sex marriages are now legal across the US.The ruling came after an Ohio man’s struggle to havehis name placed on his husband’s death certificate.The court ruled that same-sex American couples are entitled to all of the same benefits asheterosexual married couples, including the right to have their out-of-state marriage licensesrecognized as legal. This means that conservative US states can no longer prevent same-sexmarriages or deny same-sex married couples marital benefits. The US is the 21st country tolegalize same-sex marriage as a nation.

2015年6月26日，美国最高法院做出了具有历史意义的裁决，这也引起了全世界的瞩目。同性婚姻在全美实现了合法化。在这次裁决之前，一名俄亥俄州男子无法在丈夫的死亡证明上签上自己的名字。法院的判决为美国同性夫妻有权享有异性夫妻的所有福利，包括有权拥有州外结婚证。这就意味着许多美国保守州将不再禁止同性结婚，或是否认同性伴侣的婚姻权益。美国也成为了全球第21个同性婚姻合法化的国家。
