The ruling granted constitutional marriage rights nationwide, resulting in about 823,000 current married queer couples, doubling the number from 2014. States in the South experienced the largest increase, with a 21% rise in married same-sex couples. Additionally, over 300,000 children are raised by married same-sex couples, emphasizing the ruling's significant impact on modern family structures, amidst threats from conservative politicians to repeal such protections.
