One of the most monumental milestones in LGBTQ+ history came on June 26, 2015, when the United States Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in the landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges. The decision granted same-sex couples the constitutional right to marry, ending decades of legal battles and affirming that love and commitment are universal rights.
The victory was a culmination of decades of activism by LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, and organizations. It was not only a win for marriage equality but also a powerful acknowledgment of the humanity and dignity of LGBTQ+ people.
The legalization of gay marriage represented a significant cultural shift, reflecting greater acceptance and recognition of LGBTQ+ relationships and families.
