The article outlines the significant milestones in the journey toward marriage equality in the United States, beginning with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court's groundbreaking ruling in 2003. This was followed by national support from President Obama in 2012, and a landmark Supreme Court ruling in 2015 that declared bans on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. The article highlights the cultural and legal shifts in support of same-sex marriage while noting the impact of significant rulings and public figures, demonstrating the evolving perceptions of marriage equality over time.
