same-sex marriages
Gay couples' unions
Same-sex marriages are legal unions between two people of the same gender.
The term gained prominence as countries began recognizing such marriages, with debates often framing the issue as same-sex marriage versus traditional marriage.
Now that legal recognition is widespread in Western nations, the phrase appears less frequently—couples simply say they're married.
