Hodges (2015), this panel brings together key players in that triumph to consider (1) why we won nationwide marriage equality so quickly after smashing defeats between 1996 and 2004; (2) what have been the negative as well as positive consequences of that landmark decision; and (3) what Obergefell has meant for LGBTQ+ rights in the long run.
