英闻天天译： 法院拒绝阻止同性婚姻

Alabama became the 37th state (plus the District of Columbia) where same-sex couples may marry. Much of the momentum has come from federal court decisions finding state bans unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has been unwilling to put those decisions on hold and make same-sex couples wait to marry. As a result, nearly three in four Americans live in states where gay marriage is currently legal.
As some judges in Alabama resisted the court's action Monday, refusing to provide marriage licenses, there was fury on the right as well.
“A majority of the Supreme Court has cast disrepute on the impartiality of the Court by refusing to follow previous protocol and issue a stay of a lower court ruling while it is being considered by the Court,” said a statement from Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, which opposes same-sex unions.
The challengers to Alabama's ban, for their part, said the court was right not to stay a decision last month by a federal court judge in Mobile that constitutional rights were being violated.
