The correct answer The Supreme Court has shut down federal laws banning same-sex marriage.

In 2015 the US Supreme Court struck down same-sex marriage bans. Judge Anthony Kennedy has said: "No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family, [The challengers] ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right."
