Homosexuality in the United States

Homosexuality in the United States refers to romantic or sexual attraction between people of the same sex. While historical attitudes ranged from acceptance to severe discrimination, the LGBTQ+ rights movement gained momentum in the mid-20th century, advocating for equality and acceptance. Landmark events include the Stonewall Riots in 1969, which sparked activism, and the legalization of same-sex marriage nationwide by the Supreme Court in 2015. Today, while significant progress has been made in social acceptance and legal rights, challenges persist regarding discrimination and stigma in various aspects of society. Dialogues around LGBTQ+ issues continue to evolve.
