The recent Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which rejected as unconstitutional state bans on same-sex marriage, was a major milestone for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) civil rights movement. Soon after the decision, a dental hygienist, chatting with me on an airplane, mentioned that her gay niece was getting married. “How nice,” she said, “that this is now legal everywhere. In the past, gay people were so often treated very badly!” The idea that the acceptance of same-sex marriage as part of the fundamental right to marriage heralds the end of bad treatment of LGBT people and denial of their rights may be a commonly held notion, but it's most likely overly optimistic, as well as contrary to the evidence on health disparities.
