How US adults' views on same-sex marriage have changed since the Supreme Court's 2015 ruling

  • On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right nationwide.
  • This ruling followed years of state-level legalization beginning in 2004 with Massachusetts, and a series of lawsuits including Jim Obergefell's challenge to Ohio's refusal to recognize his marriage.
  • The ruling created uniform marriage rights, granting legal protections to same-sex couples, while public support grew mostly among Democrats and independents, though a partisan divide widened.
  • Gallup data from 2025 shows nearly 70% of Americans support legal recognition of same-sex marriage, but Republican support has declined sharply since 2022, creating a historic 47-point gap with Democrats.
  • The decision's outcome has reinforced marriage equality legally and socially, yet opposition persists with conservative groups seeking its reversal, suggesting continued political and legal contestation ahead.
