James Obergefell
James Obergefell is an American civil rights advocate best known as the lead plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage across the United States in 2015. Obergefell's fight for marriage equality stemmed from his desire to be recognized as the legal husband of his partner, John Arthur, who passed away from ALS. The case not only transformed the legal landscape for LGBTQ rights but also ignited national conversations about love, equality, and human dignity. Obergefell continues to be a vocal advocate for LGBTQ rights, expressing concern over recent attempts to challenge the Obergefell ruling and the potential implications for same-sex marriage in America.
