Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakahaua e te Kooti Nui o Alabama ngā kaiwhakawa o te kāwanatanga kia mutu te tuku raihana marena ki ngā tokorua takirua i roto i te whanaketanga hou i roto i te pakanga kaha i runga i te mana o te ture a te kāwanatanga. I roto i tana whakataunga i te ahiahi o te Turei, i kii te kooti a-Republican katoa i tetahi whakataunga a-rohe i kii ko te aukati i te marenatanga o te taangata kotahi e takahi ana i te US Constitution kaore e aukati i a ia ki te whai i te ture a te kawanatanga. I Alabama, kua tautuhia e te ture te marena hei hononga o te tane kotahi me te wahine kotahi mo nga rautau e rua, e kii ana, e tautoko ana i tetahi tautohe i tukuna i nga ra tata nei e nga whakahaere tiaki. 'Kei nga kaiwhakawa o Alabama te kawenga minita kia kaua e tuku i tetahi raihana marena e he ana ki tenei ture. Kaore he mea i roto i te Ture o te United States e whakarereke ana, e whakakore ana ranei i tenei mahi, "ka tapiritia e te kooti. Whakatau: Kua whakahaua e te Kooti Nui o Alabama (whakaahua) nga kaiwhakawa o te kawanatanga kia mutu te tuku raihana marena ki nga tokorua taangata i roto i te whanaketanga hou i roto i te pakanga kaha mo te mana o te ture a te kawanatanga. E rima rā te wā o ngā kaiwhakawa o te kāwanatanga ki te tuku i tētahi reta e whakamārama ana he aha e kore ai rātou e whai ki te whai i te whakataunga a te kōti, e ai ki a ABC. E ono nga kaiwhakawa i whakaae ki te whakaaro 134-whārangi o te Turei, kaore i hainatia. Heoi, ko te kaitautoko nui rawa o te marae mo te marenatanga o te tangata kotahi, ko te Kaiwhakawa Matua Roy Moore, i whakakahore i a ia ano. I te marama kua hipa, e rua ngā rōpū pūmau i tono i tētahi whakataunga a te Kaiwhakawā ā-Rohe a Callie Granade o Mobile, nāna i whakatau ko ngā ture ture o Alabama e aukati ana i te marenatanga o ngā tāngata ōrite, he mea kāore i te ture. I muri tonu i te whakataunga a Granade, i kii a Moore ki nga kaiwhakawa o te kawanatanga kaore e tika kia tukuna he raihana marena mo te taangata kotahi. Na tana tūnga i whakararuraru i te nuinga o nga kaiwhakawa. E tatari ana ki te raihana: I roto i tana whakatau i te ahiahi o te Turei, i kii te kooti i tetahi whakataunga a-rohe i kii ko te aukati i te marenatanga o te taangata e takahi ana i te US Constitution kaore e aukati i te whai i te ture a te kawanatanga. I runga ake nei, ko Shante Wolfe, maui, ko Tori Sisson, matau, e tatari ana kia tukatukahia to rātau raihana marena i Montgomery,
Kua ki atu te Kooti ki ngā kaiwhakawa whakamātautau kia mutu te tuku i ngā raihana marenatanga ōrite-pāne. E kī ana ko ngā whakataunga o mua a te kāwanatanga kāore e ārai i a ia ki te whai i te ture a te kāwanatanga. I whakatauhia e ngā kaiwhakawa ā-rohe ko te aukati i te marenatanga ā-rōpū e takahi ana i te US Constitution. Engari e tautohe ana te kōti i raro i te ture o Alabama, ko te faaipoiporaa e pā ana ki te tane me te wahine. E ono nga kaiwhakawa i whakaae ki te whakaaro 134-whārangi i te Turei, kaore i hainatia. I whakaahuatia e te kaiwhakahaere o te National Center for Lesbian Rights te tūnga o te kōti hei 'kore ahuareka', me te tāpiri 'kei te whakatau ia ki te noho i te taha kino o te hītori'
