The case in which the United States Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all fifty states was Obergefell v. Hodges. Hodges. Ohio resident Jim Obergefell was seeking to be listed as a spouse on her husband's death certificate, where the couple had been married for twenty years. In the ruling, the notion of the Fourteenth Amendment played a huge role in the case, in which the court held that their “fundamental liberties protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment extend to certain personal choices central to dignity and autonomy of the individual, including the intimate choices that define personal identity and beliefs” (Obergefell et al. v. Hodges, Director, Ohio Department of Health, et al). The due process clause established the rule of law. Catholics, on the contrary, have proven to be more lenient and tolerant towards homosexuals, where their percentages range between forty-eight and thirty-two percent. The report goes on to state that “seven in ten evangelical Christians oppose allowing same-sex couples to legally marry. On the other hand, 56 percent of those who do not belong to any religious denomination said they were in favor" (Swanson). Another example that stimulates hatred from closed-minded individuals is Romans 1:26–27, which states that “God gave them up to dishonorable passions…27 similarly men abandoned natural relations with women and consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameful acts with other men, receiving in themselves the due punishment for their sins. For he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. Whoever loves God must also love his brother,” while Romans 1:18–32 states that those who fall into the temptation of homosexual intercourse are “full of every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, malice. They are full of envy, murder, discord, deceit, malice... those who practice these things deserve to die." For the question of whether or not being identified as gay is acceptable in society, we must first reshape society's moral obligations to the homosexual community, where we must decide whether our religious beliefs should prevail over laws that have discriminated against gays and homosexuals. lesbians for hundreds of years, or if we were to accept the current Supreme Court-instigated decrees and accept same-sex couples, where we ignore our religious dogmas in hopes of building a world full of peace and acceptance. I believe that as long as there are people who thrive on the bigotry of others, we will never truly live in a world free from hatred of others because we, by nature, are prone to violence and
