Laws of equality have made same sex marriage legal throughout all 50 states, including in the state of Illinois and the state of Wisconsin. People who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender have historically faced major hurdles in protecting their civil rights. Thankfully, the legal obstacles of the LGBTQIA+ community are now beginning to fade. Although legal rights for the LGBT community are starting to show, many of the laws that apply have not caught up with the times.
