Can you tell me how gay marriage laws have changed in the US in recent years?
<|assistant|>
In the United States, same-sex marriage has grown increasingly accepted and legally recognized over the past few years. On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriages nationwide in the landmark case of Obergefell v. Hodges. Since then, numerous states have legalized gay marriage, and many countries have passed laws protecting the rights of married same-sex couples. Federal protections, such as the right to file joint tax returns, have also been implemented. Despite this, there are certain states which continue to prohibit same-sex marriages.
