There are about 1 million people in the United States that are in a same-sex marriage. This is a 33 percent increase since 2015 when the Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges to allow same sex couples to marry nationwide.

Social studies teacher, Kristin Lynch, was one of the many couples to tie the knot and take the next step in her relationship with her now wife Rebecca Lynch on July 23, 2017.  

“My family and I live as every other family,” Lynch said. “Very rarely do we experience any hardships as a result of our lifestyle.”

However while being in a non-stereotypical relationship, she still fears not being accepted or judged by the outside world.

The hardest part is the fear that others will feel uncomfortable or be unaccepting of my family,” Lynch said. “My family dynamic is different because I am in a same sex marriage, however, my family’s day-to-day lives mirror that of the average American family.”
