The Freedom to Marry

The Freedom to Marry refers to the right of individuals to marry whomever they choose, regardless of gender. In many places, this movement gained momentum to advocate for same-sex marriage, which highlighted issues of equality and human rights. Supporters argued that marriage is a fundamental right that should be available to all couples, providing legal benefits and social recognition. Landmark court cases, like Obergefell v. Hodges in the U.S., eventually led to the legalization of same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015, affirming that love and commitment should be celebrated and protected under the law for everyone.
