LGBTQ Community Reflects on 10 Years Since Legalization of Same-Sex Marriage

  • On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges, legalizing marriage equality nationwide, marking a historic milestone in LGBTQ+ rights.
  • Following Jim Obergefell and John Arthur's Maryland marriage after ALS diagnosis, Ohio's refusal to recognize their union led to a legal challenge against state bans.
  • The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision established marriage as a constitutional right, but 31 states still have dormant bans affecting 433,000 married same-sex couples.
  • On the 10th anniversary, Milwaukee recognized LGBTQ+ groups, while Atlanta appointed Dewayne R. Queen as new LGBTQ Affairs director, celebrating progress and ongoing advocacy.
  • Despite the federal protections of the 2022 Respect for Marriage Act, recent state bills threaten to undermine marriage equality and renew fears of reversal.
