Evolution of Same-Sex Marriage Legalization

Twenty years ago, in Massachusetts, 77 same-sex couples made history by getting married, despite opposition and protests. Over time, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015, changing public perceptions.

Same-sex couples now enjoy financial benefits and homeownership once exclusive to different-sex marriages.
