In June, 2015, same-sex marriage was legalized for all 50 states. Many people were happy about this decision because it meant that homosexuals were treated equally by law as heterosexual individuals. Now there were, and are, people who strongly don't agree with this law because they don't believe that homosexual lifestyle is moral, mostly because of their religious beliefs. This appears to be Universalism winning over Ethical Relativism. Technically, yes, the law barely won by vote, which would mean the majority ruled. But there is still a very large amount of people that are strongly against it, because that is the way the majority of us were raised in America. But times change, and we must use a moral which I believe would fall under Universalism, which is all people should be treated equally. America was founded on the idea of freedom and specifically designed to not allow religion to mix with government. I believe we are remembering this fact as a nation, and hope to continue down this beautiful path.
