significant increases in the number of LGBTQ Americans protected by nondiscrimination and relationship recognition laws over the last ten years.And, of course, we will never forget that moment in 2015 when the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage was a right nationwide — a moment, long overdue, that changed the course of history.
Just four years earlier, my husband and I were engaged in July 2011— the same month the Marriage Equality Act legalized same-sex marriage in the state of New York.
This kind of progress brings me and my husband hope that we can continue to raise our son in a kinder, gentler, and more accepting world.
