💨 Abstract

Ten years ago, on June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide with a 5-4 vote, affirming marriage as a fundamental right. This decision, known as Obergefell vs. Hodges, led to over 823,000 same-sex marriages, generating $5.9 billion in economic impact and creating over 41,000 jobs.
