The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to revisit its 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision, leaving nationwide marriage equality in place.<br /><br />The Court on November 10, rejected an appeal from former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, who became a national figure after refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples citing her religious beliefs.<br /><br />Davis had asked the Court to overturn Obergefell, the landmark ruling that recognized a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. The justices declined to hear her case, offering reassurance to LGBTQ+ advocates concerned that the Court’s conservative majority might reopen the issue.<br /><br />Justice Anthony Kennedy’s 2015 opinion in Obergefell affirmed that “no union is more profound than marriage,” a statement that continues to resonate with millions of Americans.<br /><br />#SupremeCourt #SameSexMarriage #KimDavis #ObergefellvHodges #LGBTQRights #MarriageEquality #BreakingNews #SCOTUS #LGBTQNews #EqualRights #NewsUpdate #SupremeCourtNews #CivilRights #LegalNews
