Fall at Alabama’s Beaches isn’t about raking leaves or sipping soup by the fire.

31 states would ban marriage equality if they could Over 60 percent of the country will no longer have marriage equality if the U.S. Supreme Court reverses it. Laws prohibiting same-sex couples from marrying were deemed unconstitutional by the 2015 ruling, Obergefell v. Hodges. This could change if the court were to revisit and reverse the ruling, as it did with Roe v. Wade, which previously deemed abortion bans unconstitutional.
