Part 7/9:
The Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell established that the right to marry is a constitutionally protected liberty that extends to same-sex couples. The ruling affirms that the government cannot deny marriage licenses based on a couple's sex or sexual orientation.
This landmark case does not prevent individuals from holding personal opinions about marriage. Instead, it ensures that the state treats all couples equally under the law. Davis's efforts, she claims, defend her religious beliefs, but in reality, they challenge legal protections established for millions of Americans.
