Correction: The U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision for Obergefell v. Hodges came on June 26, 2015. It was incorrectly/accidentally stated as January 26, 2015 at the 15:25 time mark.
In the United States, the fight for marriage equality dates back to 1987. But between 2012 and 2014, significant challenges to state laws prohibiting same-sex marriage arose.
In this episode, we’re taking a look at the origins of Obergefell v. Hodges, its landmark decision and legacy, and potential threats to the future of marriage equality.

The U.S. Senate just passed a bill called the “Respect for Marriage Act.”
Now don’t be fooled by the Orwellian language. This bill will go further than the Supreme Court did in its Obergefell decision of 2015.
There are a host of reasons to be concerned about this bill. Right now, I will highlight just one. Religious liberty.
Rights of religious freedom are absolutely threatened under the current form of this bill … and not by accident. Consider the statement Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee offered on Twitter. He said: “I offered to support the bill if the sponsors would include my amendment to prohibit the government from removing tax-exempt status based on religious beliefs about same-sex marriage … The sponsors adamantly refused even to consider that.” He then asked the question, “Why?”
The answer is simple: It is because your colleagues do not, did not, will not offer these protections, and that's the point.
The Senate should have rejected the “Respect for Marriage Act.”

Caleb is currently an attorney with his own law practice in Dallas, Texas. He was born and raised in a small town in northwest Arkansas and grew up as an anxious, overachieving, closeted gay child in a conservative Christian environment. He attended the University of Arkansas where he earned his undergraduate degree and law degree as well as had his first experience with the power of therapy and coming out. Upon graduation in 2007, Caleb "officially" came out to his friends and family and moved to Dallas, Texas. Over the past 15 years, he's continued his mental health journey through traditional talk therapy, meditation, and yoga and has continued to build his professional career. Today, Caleb practices law in Dallas with a focus on estate planning, probate, and small business transactions. He's been with his husband David since 2015 and they have been married for two years. They currently live in the Oaklawn area with their two dogs, a cat, and too many plants to count. Both are small business owners and are active volunteers with Black Tie Dinner. In his hypothetical free time, Caleb prefers to spend his time outdoors, reading a good book, or watching anything superhero or science-fiction-related.

The state Senate in Utah has now approved by a unanimous vote a bill that would decriminalize polygamy—making it a mere infraction akin to jaywalking.
This development is Utah is the logical extension of the Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision in 2015 that legalized same-sex marriage. Once you redefine marriage so that it is no longer the union of a man and a woman, then you’ve eroded your foundation to defend marriage against a change in number. Once you’ve changed gender, the logical obstacle to a change in number is far less significant.
In fact, polygamy is an objective wrong and it’s a deformed human relationship, and it can never be made non-abusive. It can never be made “safe.”
Valerie Hudson—a distinguished professor at The Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M—made the point well: “The harm” she said, “has been found to be inherent in the practice.”
