The "Freedom to Marry" refers to the legal right of individuals to marry the person of their choice, regardless of gender. This concept gained significant attention in the United States as advocates pushed for the recognition of same-sex marriages, arguing that love and commitment should not be restricted by sexual orientation. In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges affirmed this right, ruling that same-sex couples have the same legal right to marry as opposite-sex couples. This landmark ruling marked a significant milestone in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and equality in marriage.
