Spain's highest court upheld the country's gay marriage law on Tuesday, rejecting an appeal lodged by the ruling People's Party seven years ago and confirming the legality of same-sex unions.

Justice Minister Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon said the government would respect the decision and leave the law as it stands.
