    What's the deal with marriage equality?

    In November 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would not take up the petition to revisit Obergefell v. Hodges. But is marriage equality actually safe? And what does this mean for the security of parent-child relationships? In this episode of "Out With It," we're taking a closer look at marriage equality — from some of the earliest landmark cases, to the recent resurgence in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, to the different ways you're able to protect your family (whether you're married or not). This episode is hosted by Luce Remy, Family Equality's Vice President of Public Policy, with special guests Mary Bonauto and Polly Crozier, two expert attorneys at GLAD Law. Family Equality is creating a world where everyone can experience the love, safety, and belonging of family. As the leading national organization for current and future LGBTQ+ families, we work to ensure that everyone has the freedom to find, form, and sustain their families by advancing LGBTQ+ equality through advocacy, support, storytelling, and education.

How did a seemingly simple safe space become the largest gathering of LGBTQ+ families in the world? And how can you create that same sense of safety and belonging at home? We're excited to host special guests, including Scott Davenport, one of the parents who helped found Family Week; Donna Walker, Provincetown's Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; and Manuel Quintero, a current Family Week attendee and the founder of the San Diego Gay Dads Group.
