June 26 is the 10-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, a decision that made same-sex marriage legal across the U.S.
In the decade since, our society has changed. Hundreds of thousands of same-sex couples have married. And millions more LGBTQ+ people now feel a greater sense of inclusion, validation and well-being.
As Jim Obergefell said recently, the right to marry “made millions of people feel more part of ‘we the people.’” It gave them hope—and it continues to give hope to LGBTQ+ Americans everywhere.
It certainly gives us hope.
It should give you hope too. Hope for equal rights, yes. But, beyond that, hope for the future of our country.
Because Obergefell shows that, over time, with belief and hard work, those of us who care about justice, fairness and democracy can win—even when the challenge seems insurmountable.
For marriage equality, it seemed damn near impossible. In 2004, two-thirds of Americans opposed same-sex marriage. Conservatives put same-sex marriage bans on the ballot in 13 states—and won in all 13.
But now look. Two-thirds of Americans support marriage equality. It’s the law nationwide.
Working together, we did this. And we can do it again. We can fight and win for any cause we believe in.
