Abstract

Although the LGBTQ population has long experienced prejudice and marginalisation, there has been a change in recent years towards more acceptance and acknowledgement of Gay rights. In the United States, the Protection of Same Sex Marriage Law 2022 aims to legalise same-sex unions and grant LGBTQ couples full marital privileges. By outlawing discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, this bill also attempts to combat prejudice towards LGBTQ people. This bill seeks to grant legal recognition and protection to same-sex marriages, allowing LGBTQ couples to enjoy the same rights and benefits as heterosexual couples, the passage of this measure will have a substantial positive influence on the lives of many LGBTQ people and their families. Yet, much effort remains to be done to eliminate discrimination and stigma towards the LGBTQ population and to promote equality and acceptance globally.

Key Words: LGBTQ, Legal Recognition, Equal Rights, Same Sex Marriage, Protection, Progress, United States.
