STICK NEWS
Kia Ora. This is Stick News. In two US states, advocates of gay marriage have lost court battles.
In the United States of America, there are two kinds of law: state law and federal law.
State law applies inside each of the 52 states. Federal law applies to the whole country.
Same-sex marriages are legal in the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Canada.
In the US, same-sex marriages are only legal in one state: Massachusetts.
In two other states: New York and Georgia, people have been fighting recently to make same-sex marriages legal.
However, both court battles were lost.
In New York, one plaintiff said it was a sad day for New York families. Another plaintiff said they hadn’t given up, and they were in it for the long haul.
And that was Stick News for Friday the 7th of July.
Kia Ora.

Robert OK.
Francesca I’ll just get my shoes.
Robert I wasn't exactly expecting company. Where are we headed?
