The Stonewall Uprising has become the defining event that marked the start of the gay rights movement, even though demand for equal rights predates this. It’s been 55 years since the Stonewall police raid that prompted this rebellion which marks the ongoing struggle for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality.

Celebrating this historic Supreme Court decision today.

James Obergefell and John Arthur James filed a lawsuit challenging the Ohio’s refusal to recognize same-sex marriages. On June 26, 2015, the Court declared their state’s refusal violated due process and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The right to have one’s marriage recognized by the state is a fundamental liberty interest protected by due process, and the state cannot infringe this right without substantial justification. Ohio cannot assert a substantial, or even rational, justification for its refusal to recognize same-sex marriages.
