Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Yesterday America's highest court ruled that the US Constitution provides same-sex couples with the right to marry.
With the ruling, same-sex marriage will become legal in all 50 states.
LGBT campaigners and allies welcomed the move with the triumphant slogan #LoveWins.
However, some US citizens didn’t take the news well and are now threatening to move to Canada as a result.
...Canada legalised same-sex marriage in 2005. Gay and bisexual couples have been having same-sex marriages there for over a decade.
