Answer

Obergefell v. Hodges was a landmark Supreme Court case in which Kennedy authored the majority opinion legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.

Kennedy's opinion emphasized the fundamental right to marry and the equal protection of the laws for all Americans, regardless of their sexual orientation.
