Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court made history by deciding on an important civil rights case which compels all states in America to issue marriage licenses to all citizens. Americans can be gay, lesbian or bi-sexual, whatever their orientation, it won't be an impediment to joining up with a partner and enjoying the union of marriage. The opinions may still vary on the issue, organized religion may still object, but the questionable legality of it has all been ended.
All Americans now enjoy the same marriage rights.
In
Star Trek, there's no clear defining moment or even episode which talks plainly about how much things have changed - or not - in say Captain Kirk's or Captain Picard's time, when it comes to marriage. Maybe the UFP took the same kind of legal treatment an Earth court did in the 21st century - and made any complexities of being married simple.
