Reply to comment by Quian32 in Slovenia legalises same-sex marriage and adoption by citytiger

And yet, in countries that have legalised same-sex marriage, has their society actually changed to any significant degree?
Not that I am aware of.

Well, it's been 17 years since my country legalize it and yes, the country has changed, nowadays people is waaay more accepting of gay people.

Even our conservative party doesn't care about homosexuals anymore and have openly gay members on high positions on the party (the same party was obviously against it back in 2005).

As a whole the perception of all society has changed, and legalizing same-sex marriage was one of the first steps.

It's a complete and utter collapse. We had to bolt down the manhole covers to keep all the demons from surfacing.

Social change takes time, and unless you're LGBTQ you probably won't notice the difference since this doesn't impact you personally. I'd imagine communities that benefit from this do experience worthwhile change

On a basic level, it impacts those seeking to have a same sex marriage. For those individuals, it increases their social equity and thus, does significantly impact society.

If you’re not gay then of course nothing changed. As it turns out, letting homosexuals get married has no material impact on the rest of us whatsoever.
