Gay Marriage in Alabama

In the Huffington Post titled "Clarence Thomas: Supreme Court's Decision Suggests Justices' Minds Are Made Up On Gay Marriage", Lawrence Hurley discusses the U.S Supreme Court's response of proceeding gay marriage in Alabama. First, Hurley explains how two out of nine justices, Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, disagree with allowing gay weddings to start in Alabama. Next, he points out that gay marriage is now legal in 37 states.

He explains Clarence Thomas's dissenting opinions and his thoughts on how things will turn out if the state approves gay marriage. In addition, Hurley mentions Scalia's dissenting in 2013 and how Thomas's words echoed upon them. Finally, the writer concludes by stating that Alabama's case with gay marriage is being solved differently and the court will take cases to settle them as well.

The author's tone throughout the article is serious and formal.
