WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court has turned away appeals from five states seeking to prohibit same-sex marriages, paving the way for an immediate expansion of gay and lesbian unions.

The justices on Monday did not comment in rejecting appeals from Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.

The court's order immediately ends delays on marriage in those states. Couples in six other states should be able to get married in short order.


That would make same-sex marriage legal in 30 states and the District of Columbia.

But the justices have left unresolved for now the question of same-sex marriage nationwide.

Nor should they.

I really feel for those true Americans who feel the sanctity of their love will be violated by two guys porking while wearing rings.

Who cares, though. Let people be happy with who they are, it doesn't effect you so I mean, why not

This here is still a big issue though. The more conservative states will do whatever they can to oppose same-sex marriage. It's a fight that will inevitably be won by those in favor of the legalization of equal marriage rights, but without a federal ruling or input, it could still be a long and nasty one.
The district which VA lies in is one of the most conservative ones in the nation and it ruled against the ban

This is an exciting time. Not only because more people are enjoying equality under the law, but we also get to see the "Race to see who is last to legalize same-sex marriage"

It'll be fun to watch.

I do not understand why it has not just been made legal nationwide.
The Federal Government doesn't have authority on the matter.

But they ruled on interracial marriage way back when. I would expect them to do the same for same-sex marriage at some point - probably when most states have already allowed it.

Why isn't there a nationwide law for all 50 states to legalize gay marriage? Why do states get to take their sweet time in legalizing it?

The federal government doesn't and shouldn't have a say in marriage.
Then why do southern states get to deny gay couples the right to marry because of ancient mythical fairytales?

State's rights. It's simply not the federal government's position to enforce marriage laws. It's not what it was made for.

It is the federal government's role to step in if a state's law purposefully discriminates against a sect of society, or violates a part of the Constitution.
