What started same-sex marriage in the US?
The idea of same-sex marriage started in the 1970s in California after all of the state laws had been reworded to be gender neutral. People began to speculate whether there was a loophole whereby two men could marry. The loophole was quickly closed. Then, in the 1990s, there was talk of Hawaii passing a law to legalize same-sex marriage. It did not happen at that time, but the federal government passed the Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA") to ensure that one state legalizing same-sex marriage would not mean the feds or the other states would have to recognize it. On July 1, 2000, "civil unions" became legal in Vermont. They gave all the same rights and privileges as marriage under state law, except that they were called "civil unions" instead of "marriages." In 2004, same-sex marriage was legalized in Massachusetts as a result of a lawsuit wherein plaintiffs complained that their equal rights under the MA constitution were being violated because they could not marry. This was the first US state to legalize same-sex marriage.
