These State Laws Don’t Care What The Federal Government Decides

When The Federal Government Gets It Right

In June of 2015, Rainbow flags flew proudly, as the Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage was legal throughout the country. Despite this ruling, certain states refused to accept the federal law. The Attorney General of Texas told clerks they had the right to refuse to marry gay couples. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore told Alabama’s probate judges not to issue the licenses, stating that, “This was forced upon our state. This is simply federal tyranny.” Regardless of what these state leaders may think or say, in this case, the federal government’s decision would trump their own.
