Patrick knew he wanted to propose to Dominic in 2014, but they didn’t want to be in a marriage that could be invalidated simply by traveling to another state. When Obergefell v. Hodges passed the following year, Patrick asked Dominic’s parents for his hand in marriage...

In 2012, Family Equality filed an amicus brief, “Voices of Children.” This brief would be referenced in cases until marriage equality was secured across the U.S. As we honor the 10th anniversary of Obergefell, we're also celebrating how LGBTQ+ families shaped the fight for marriage equality.

Jim Obergefell, Family Equality Board Member, is the lead plaintiff of the landmark Supreme Court case that essentially legalized same-sex marriage. However, he is worried that under the current political climate, marriage equality and all marginalized communities are going backwards.

As organizations committed to LGBTQIA2S+ liberation, we are answering this call. As certain politicians try to divide and turn us against one another, we refuse to let them bully our loved ones and stoke fear and division.
