When states recognize same-sex marriage, some workplaces are required to offer employer-sponsored health insurance (ESI) to married same-sex couples. 1 Research found laws establishing domestic partnerships for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations increased health insurance coverage for lesbian women. 2 On July 24, 2011, New York State began licensing same-sex marriages under the state's Marriage Equality Act, and at least 12 280 marriage licenses were issued to same-sex couples in the following 18 months. 3 This study investigated the association between legalizing same-sex marriage in New York and changes in health insurance coverage in men and women.
