We Keep LGBTQ+ Women & Girls Up-To-Date
As more and more countries are beginning to support same-sex marriage, there are still a number of countries that do not recognize it as a legal union. In some cases, this is due to religious beliefs that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. In others, it is simply because the government has not yet caught up with the changing times. There is actually a growing support for marriage equality. Recent polls show that a majority of people support same-sex marriage, and the number of countries that recognize it as a legal union is also growing. This trend is likely to continue, as more and more people come to see that same-sex couples should have the same rights as everyone else.
In a landmark decision on June 26th, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right. This ruling effectively legalized same-sex marriage in all fifty states. The 5-4 decision was hailed as a victory for civil rights and equality and was met with overwhelming support from the American people. In the years leading up to this decision, there was a significant shift in public opinion on the issue of same-sex marriage. A majority of Americans now support the right of same-sex couples to marry, and this support has been growing steadily over the past few years.
It's clear that the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage was a victory for civil rights and equality. But the fight is not over yet. There are still many challenges facing LGBTQ Americans, including discrimination and violence.
We need to continue working together to create a society where everyone is treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
