　　美國同性婚姻合法化

　　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，美國最高法院做出了具有歷史意義的裁決，這也引起了全世界的矚目。同性婚姻在全美實(shí)現(xiàn)了合法化。在這次裁決之前，一名俄亥俄州男子無法在丈夫的死亡證明上簽上自己的名字。法院的判決為美國同性夫妻有權(quán)享有異性夫妻的所有福利，包括有權(quán)擁有州外結(jié)婚證。這就意味著許多美國保守州將不再禁止同性結(jié)婚，或是否認(rèn)同性伴侶的婚姻權(quán)益。美國也成為了全球第21個(gè)同性婚姻合法化的國家。
