参考答案
参考解析
解析：
录音最后提到5个州已经rushed through legislation explicitly banning same-sex marriages，可知美国有五个州已经限制明令禁止同性恋结婚。
【录音原文】
In the Supreme Court’s l986 landmark ruling denying the right of adult gay men to engage in consensual homosexual sex, Chief Justice Warren Burger wrote approvingly: “Blackstone (all 18th-century English jurist) described ‘the infamous crime against nature’ as an offence of ‘deeper malignity’, than rape, a heinous act ‘the very mention of which is a disgrace to human nature, and ‘a crime not fit to be named’. To hold that the act of homosexual sodomy” he continued, “is somehow protected as a fundamental right would be to cast aside millennia of moral teaching.”
That was fewer than 20 years ago. How things have changed. In 2003 the Supreme Court struck down America’s sodomy laws. A few months later, the Massachusetts’ Supreme Court became the first state court to rule that gays had a constitutional right to wed. That spark started a bush fire, which has swept the country. Over the past few weeks, renegade ministers and officials in towns and villages in half a dozen states from New Mexico to New Jersey have been doling out thousands of marriage licences to jubilant gay couples.
Horrified conservatives are now working to stamp out the blaze which, they say, is threatening one of the most important foundations not just of American society, but of the whole civilised world. Five American states have already rushed through legislation explicitly banning same-sex marriages. And George Bush has agreed to seek a constitutional ban to the same effect.
