Supreme court rulings on gay marriage

Same-sex marriage has been legal for 10 years, but with a Supreme Court dishing losses to LGBTQ causes and calls for a revisit of Obergefell v. Hodges, some wonder how long that may last.

A landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling 10 years ago on June 26, , legalized same-sex marriage across the U.S.

The Supreme Court extended LGBTQ+ rights rapidly. A span of less than three decades separates a decision upholding a state law criminalizing homosexual conduct from the decision that legalized gay marriage nationwide.

The Obergefell v. Hodges ruling held that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right, legalizing it nationwide over a decade ago.
