  • LGBTQ+ advocates will celebrate the 10th anniversary of marriage equality in Florida on Sunday, Jan. 5, in Miami Beach in an event to include the couples and the attorneys who successfully sued in court to overturn the longstanding gay-marriage ban.

The article from WLRN discusses the impact and reflections on ten years of marriage equality in the United States, highlighting the journey since the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges decision in 2015. It explores how this landmark ruling has transformed the lives of many in the LGBTQ+ community by granting them the legal right to marry. The piece includes personal stories of couples who married post-ruling, reflecting on the changes in societal acceptance, legal protections, and the ongoing challenges despite this progress. It also touches on the broader implications for civil rights, the continued fight against discrimination, and the evolving landscape of public opinion and policy regarding same-sex marriage.
