The Marriage Equality Act

The Marriage Equality Act is legislation that grants same-sex couples the legal right to marry, ensuring their relationships are recognized equally under the law. It affirms that marriage is a fundamental human right, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, providing couples access to legal benefits such as healthcare, inheritance, and parental rights. The act promotes equality, non-discrimination, and inclusion, aligning legal standards with the principles of fairness and human rights. It aims to eliminate previous legal barriers that denied same-sex couples the same marriage rights enjoyed by opposite-sex couples.
