 Join Boston Globe columnist Renée Graham and panelists as they discuss marriage equality in the United States.
Â

Department of Public Health, and in 2015, the rest of the United States followed when the US Supreme Court ruled the Constitution guarantees an equal right to marry. But is the future of marriage equality guaranteed? Or, like Roe v. Wade, will it be another casualty of a conservative-led high court that might seek to overturn it?
