Two years ago, the Supreme Court struck down laws against same-sex marriage as unconstitutional. Before that ruling, 36 states (plus the District of Columbia and Guam) already issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples. This disparity allowed scientists to study the effects of the change, and the results showed an interesting benefit. Researchers at Johns Hopkins […]
What kind of marriage does our new president have anyway? They barely acknowledged each other. What a contrast from the Obamas.
