NASW Commends Supreme Court Same-Sex Marriage Ruling

The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) applauds the U.S. Supreme Court for the recent ruling that clears the way for same-sex couples to marry in all 50 states.

In a 5-4 majority opinion written by Justice Kennedy inObergerfell v. Hodges, the court held that the Fourteenth Amendment requires the states to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to recognize lawfully licensed out-of-state marriages.
