Approximately 35 states have an outright ban on same-sex marriage. Several have civil unions, while a few allow marriage.
In 2004, Massachusetts became the first state in the U.S. to legalize same-sex marriage. This decision was made by the state's Supreme Judicial Court in the case of Goodridge v. Department of Public Health. Since then, same-sex marriage has been legal in Massachusetts, and the state has been a pioneer in LGBTQ rights. Today, same-sex couples in Massachusetts have the same rights and benefits as opposite-sex couples when it comes to marriage.
Now a days, it is the movement for homosexuals to have the same rights that heterosexuals have, like marriage and child care laws.

The Law of the Twelve Tables did not establish any rights. It dealt with matters which today we would call civil law (property, inheritance, marriage and the like) penalties for crimes and procedures for the arrest of citizens and the conduct of trials. The rights of the Roman citizens came from mos maiorum (the way of the elders); that is, ancestral customs.
Today, many people should improve their status!
