Role Summary
The Same-Sex Marriage Act (2014) aimed to provide legal recognition for same-sex couples, promoting equality for LGBTQ+ people in England and Wales. It granted same-sex couples the same legal rights as heterosexual couples, marking a significant step toward social acceptance. However, its impact on LGBTQ+ lived experiences remains unclear. This research explores whether the Act has truly promoted equality or reinforced heteronormative ideals. It examines LGBTQ+ individuals' views on marriage, equality, and societal inclusion, considering the effects of this legislation on their lives. The study will offer insights into how legal reforms intersect with societal views and the diverse experiences within the LGBTQ+ community.
