Obergefell: Marriage Equality Victory, Growing LGBTQ+ Fears | JQJO

Ten years after the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court ruling legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, plaintiff Jim Obergefell reflects on the victory and expresses fear over the current rollback of LGBTQ+ rights. Obergefell's fight stemmed from his late husband's wish to be recognized as married in their home state of Ohio. While public opinion has shifted towards acceptance of same-sex marriage, Obergefell highlights the concerning attacks on LGBTQ+ communities, particularly transgender individuals, and the potential loss of hard-won rights. He remains committed to fighting for LGBTQ+ inclusion and equality, emphasizing the importance of continued advocacy.
