Freedom to Marry

The Freedom to Marry refers to the legal and social recognition of the right for individuals to marry regardless of their sexual orientation. It embodies the belief that love should be celebrated and that marriage is a fundamental human right. The movement gained significant momentum in the 21st century, advocating for marriage equality, culminating in landmark legal decisions, such as the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in 2015 that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. This change reflects broader societal shifts towards acceptance and inclusion, ensuring that all couples enjoy the same rights and benefits that marriage provides.
