US Supreme Court to make landmark same-sex marriage ruling
By Josh Haggis
The US Supreme Court has announced that it is to rule whether gay couples have the right to marry across all states.
Following a wave of same-sex marriages bans being struck down last year, the Supreme Court justices are set to hear cases from four different states – Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee – later this year.
If the court rule in favour of gay marriage, then it could allow gay couples in all 50 states to legally marry. The four cases will be discussed by the court in April, with a decision reportedly expected by June.
Same-sex marriage is currently legal in 36 out of 50 states in the US.
