The Supreme Court has officially rejected a high-profile appeal that aimed to overturn the landmark 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. That’s right, the justices turned away the appeal on Monday without any comment, shutting down what many considered a long-shot attempt to dismantle the precedent set by Obergefell v. Hodges.
This news is a massive relief, and was first reported by NBC News. Fears that the court might revisit the marriage equality decision have been running incredibly high ever since the devastating 2022 ruling that overturned the abortion rights decision, Roe v. Wade.
