Hodg, on the legaly of same-sex marriage the Uned Stat, is as breathtakg as is Fourteenth Amendment requir a State to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to regnize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed is, the lg that gay-marriage advot and opponents have been wag for sce April when the Court took up the se—but really, for years long before that. Remend ReadgThe Court’s opn—thored by Jtice Anthony Kennedy, a Catholic who has long been seen as the possible swg vote on gay marriage, joed by Jtic Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bar Gsburg, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor, and wh four separate dissents thored and joed by batns of Samuel Alo, John Roberts, Anton Slia, and Clarence Thomas—lists four major reasons for s cisn.
”But then, the cisn tak an tertg turn: The Court seems to flip the oft-ed reasong of same-sex marriage opponents, who claim that gay marriage is harmful to children and fai, and disptive to the longstandg orr of Amerin society. Not all straight married upl have children, and they’re certaly not required to do so by law, he reasons; the same le should apply to gay married upl. But more importantly, for those gay upl that do want to have kids—cludg the many upl who adopt or have children g the geic material of one parent—that their unns are ls than marriage unr the law creat a “more difficult and uncerta fay life.
” Like his lleagu the majory, he lv to the history of marriage, even givg a nod to one of the favore arguments of gay-marriage opponents: that legalizg gay marriage is sentially a slippery slope. In each of their dissents, Thomas and Alo addrs the qutn of relig liberty, argug that this cisn will make much more difficult for those who oppose gay marriage on the basis of fah to exercise their beliefs. Opponents of same-sex marriage have long argued that the stutn of marriage is sacred, and that gay unns would change s very nature.

For example, most (even among gay rights advot) believe the Constutn protects clergy om beg required to officiate at marriag for same-sex upl and church om beg forced to allow gay and lbian upl to marry their sanctuari. And what about a religly affiliated stutn, like a universy, that offers married heterosexual stunts hog but ref such acmodatn for married gay and lbian stunts?
And many, cludg some evangelil Prottant nomatns, the Catholic Church, the Mormon church and Orthodox Jewish groups, oppose gay marriage on relig grounds. Some scholars believe that the lg favor of gay marriage will not lead to wispread acrimony and legal battl. But Universy of Illois law profsor Rob Fretwell Wilson says ’s possible that stutns will be prsured to give ground on gay marriage by feral thori (such as the Internal Revenue Service, which uld take away an stutn’s tax-exempt stat), state civil rights missns or private lawsus.
