It has been 20 years since the first marriage licenses were issued to same-sex couples in Massachusetts, and there has been ample time for researchers to study the consequences of legalizing marriage for same-sex couples on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals; their children; and the general population. The authors of this report document those consequences, drawing on an evidence review and new analyses that they conducted.

Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) is a research agenda that recognizes the impact that women have on peace and security and also the impact that conflict has on women. This report presents vignettes to help U. S. Department of Defense (DoD) stakeholders understand WPS relevance to national security and how WPS principles and gender perspectives have been applied in DoD mission areas.
