So, the reply to RQ1 is fully optimistic, with the one notable exception of additional-marital affairs. So, findings for RQ2 are that, in absolute terms, individuals aged 18-29 are the most supportive of gay marriage. But in relative phrases, the 2002-2015 pattern of acceptance of gay marriage was the same for all generations. Prior to the passage of same-intercourse marriage legislation, there was litigation in New York courts relating to the recognition of similar-intercourse marriage licenses from other jurisdictions. Decisions that have been typically talked about included Loving v. Virginia (1967), which discovered restrictions on interracial marriage unconstitutional; New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964), which protected freedom of the press within the realm of political reporting and libel; Baker v. Carr (1962) and Reynolds v. Sims (1964), which established the one-person, one-vote concept in legislative apportionment; and Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 similar-intercourse-marriage ruling. Thus, the 2015 Supreme Court’s sentence partially differs from different landmark decisions of the previous, which anticipated the trends of public opinion.
