The article reflects on the significant milestone achieved through the Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015, which granted marriage equality to same-sex couples, a moment cherished by many in the LGBTQ+ community. However, the landscape has drastically changed over the years, with a worrying trend of introducing legislation aimed at restricting LGBTQ+ rights. Since 2022, nearly 2,000 bills targeting this community have emerged, and crucial legal protections are now at risk, sparking fears of possible reversals to the Obergefell ruling.

"Today, we are seeing a massive attack on the rights of LGBTQ+ people... 1,903 bills aimed at restricting the rights of LGBTQ+ people have been introduced."
