The Supreme Court’s first rulings on same-sex marriage produced historic gains for gay rights Wednesday: full federal recognition of legally married gay couples and an opening for such unions to resume in the nation’s most-populous state.
本周三,美国最高法院首次就同性婚姻作出判决,这意味着同性恋者权益取得了历史性进步:在美国人口最多的纽约州,同性伴侣得到联邦政府的承认,同性婚姻合法化。
But in striking down a key part of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the court declared that gay couples married in states where it is legal must receive the same federal health, tax, Social Security and other benefits that heterosexual couples receive.
法庭驳回1996年《婚姻保护法》的关键内容,宣布在同性恋婚姻合法的州,同性恋必须享有和异性夫妻同样的医疗、税收、社会保险以及其他福利。
In turning away a case involving California’s prohibition of same-sex marriage, known as Proposition 8, the justices left in place a lower court’s decision that the ban is unconstitutional. Gov. Jerry Brown (D) said he would order same-sex marriages to resume as quickly as possible.
美国最高法院驳回一宗涉及到被称为8号提案的加州同性婚姻禁令的案件,认为同性婚姻禁令违宪,并将其发回该州下级法院。州长杰瑞-布朗称他督促恢复同性恋伴侣结婚的权利。
