WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says a growing majority of Americans recognize that same-sex couples in loving relationships deserve fair treatment under the law.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest is avoiding weighing in specifically on the Supreme Court’s decision to deny appeals from five states seeking to prohibit same-sex marriages. That move means an immediate expansion of gay and lesbian unions. Earnest says there’s no specific reaction from the White House to the court’s move.
