The United States Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states in However, many of the rights awarded to heterosexual individuals and couples are still not available to the LGBTQ community. This creates significant hurdles and discrimination against same-sex married couples seeking common rights. Contact Attorney Hudson to schedule a consultation for help in these matters today.
While the Supreme Court delivered a victory nationally for same-sex marriage, most other laws pertaining to the LGBTQ community are decided on at the state level. Many states, especially those in the south with conservative views, are required to recognize same-sex marriage but have failed to move forward with other fundamental human rights for this part of the population.
The result is that members of the LGBTQ community do not enjoy the same rights as opposite-sex married or cohabitating couples. Even outside of marriage and family rights , the lack of progress on LGBTQ freedoms means that they face discrimination in many areas of life, including employment, education, healthcare, schooling, and more. In southern states where conservative politics and religion outnumber progressive and liberal ideas, members of the LGBTQ community are discriminated against daily.
The discriminators are protected by laws based on religious beliefs. Without federal government rulings to go with legalizing same-sex marriage, the LGBTQ population is in jeopardy of being illegally discriminated against without the offenders being held accountable.
