This Emotional Video Illustrates How Far Marriage Equality Had To Come

We can still hardly believe it, but same-sex marriage has been legal nationwide in America for almost a month.

While the battle for the rights of all people identifying along the queer spectrum is far from over, the legalization of same-sex marriage marks a massive victory for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community after decades of violence, stigma and death.

In recognition of this huge moment in the mainstream narrative of queer rights, Freedom To Marry put together this emotional video that chronicles many of the significant political and social moments for the LGBT community over the past several decades. From the days of the AIDS crisis to SCOTUS' ruling last month, this video will take you back through time and remind you how far we've come -- and how far we still have to go.

Check it out for yourself above.
