Reflections on a Decade of Same-Sex Marriage in the U.S.
As the U.S. marks the 10th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, reflections and celebrations are met with concerns about the future of marriage equality. Jim Obergefell, the name behind the case, emphasizes that the fight for LGBTQ+ rights is ongoing, amidst reports of growing threats to marriage equality in various states, including Louisiana and Pennsylvania. Despite the progress, polling indicates that American views on same-sex marriage have evolved, and advocates worry about potential rollbacks. The anniversary serves not only as a commemoration but also a call to action for sustained advocacy in the face of resistance and backlash against LGBTQ+ rights.
