The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday made marriage for same-sex couples legal nationwide, declaring that refusing to grant marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples violates the Constitution. The landmark ruling  will produce the most significant change in laws governing matrimony since the court struck down state bans on inter-racial marriage almost 50 years ago.The majority opinion in the 5-4 decision was written by Justice Anthony Kennedy.
