Forty-five years ago, the ACLU filed the first freedom-to-marry lawsuit in the United States. Today, we're on the brink of the Supreme Court ruling on whether or not the right to same-sex marriage is constitutionally protected nationwide.

In anticipation, the ALCU released a supercut this week of some of the most influential queer moments in pop culture over the past several decades. From "Will and Grace" to "The Golden Girls" to "Orange Is The New Black," take a look back at some of the moments that paved the way for public support surrounding queer identity to reach a place where this conversation could take place at the legislative level.

Check out the video above and head here for more from the ACLU.
