A Decade of Marriage Equality: Reflections and New Threats
Ten years after the landmark Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in the U.S., the LGBTQ+ community reflects on significant progress and ongoing challenges. While the number of gay marriages has doubled since the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, concerns over a potential backlash against marriage equality persist. Key figures from the movement, including Jim Obergefell, emphasize that despite the victories, the fight for LGBTQ+ rights is far from over. Lawmakers in various states are reportedly attempting to erode the rights established a decade ago. As celebrations of love continue, advocates push back against growing opposition, underscoring the importance of vigilance in safeguarding the rights won through hard-fought battles.
