CHANGSHA, China — The two young men met through an online chat group. They began seeing each other every day. Long walks in the park. Movies and barhopping. Dinner with grandparents.
On their first anniversary, in June,2015 the men, Sun Wenlin and Hu Mingliang, tried to register to marry at a local civil affairs bureau in this southern provincial capital. An employee refused, saying Chinese law did not permit same-sex marriage. The couple did the unthinkable — they sued the civil affairs bureau. In January, 2016 a district court accepted their case, the first time a Chinese court had agreed to hear a lawsuit on same-sex marriage.

Beth McGarrity forced a smile as she rejoined a group of moms around the dining room table in a spacious home in Newcastle-on-Tyne, England. A few months earlier, in the summer of 2000, she and her husband, Russ, had moved to England from Cincinnati with their two young children for Russ' promotion with Procter & Gamble. Now, they mingled at a barbecue with the families of other expat employees and their friends.
Outside, 2-year-old Alyson* tumbled after a soccer ball with the boys in the tree-shaded backyard as Russ and the other dads looked on. Upstairs, 5-year-old Russie* laughed with a group of girls as they sorted through pink dresses and layers of chiffon. Twice, Beth had gone up the big staircase. "Russie, do you want to go outside and play some football?" she'd asked. "No," he had said, looking puzzled the first time; upset the second. "I'm having fun here."
