On June 26, 2015, the United States became the 21st country to legalize same-sex marriage. While the US Supreme Court ruled that the denial of marriage licenses and recognition to same-sex couples violates the Due Process and the Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, we saw many knee-jerk reactions from Americans on the judgement.
THIS is liberal fascist evil at work. As abhorrent as it gets. Christians beware. #WakeUpAmerica #LGBT #SCOTUS https://t.co/Hkf1jMgtBs

Our country is literally going to Hell in a #SCOTUS #LGBT handbasket. Will we fret or fight a good Gospel fight?

Here’s looking at the 20 countries which legalized same-sex marriage before America, the impact on the first 10, and how their citizens reacted to the landmark ruling:
The Netherlands (2001)
The Netherlands, world’s first country to legalize same-sex marriage, is among the 10 happiest countries in the world.
When the Netherlands opened up marriage for same sex couples Facebook, Instagram and Twitter didn’t exist yet. Just let that sink in. — Evert Groot (@absoluut) June 27, 2015
Belgium (2003)
In 2007, a UNICEF report ranked Belgium the best country for children’s educational well-being.
Belgium legalized same-sex marriage in 2003. In 2011, we elected our first openly gay Prime Minister
